    Abstract: Voltage dividing circuitry is provided for use in a voltage converter for converting at least one input Direct Current, DC voltage to a plurality of output DC voltages. The voltage dividing circuitry including a voltage input port to receive an input DC voltage and an inductor having an input-side switch node and an output-side switch node. The output side switch node is connectable to one of a plurality of voltage output ports to supply a converted value of the input DC voltage as an output DC voltage. The flying capacitor interface has a plurality of switching elements and at least one flying capacitor, the flying capacitor interface to divide the input DC voltage to provide a predetermined fixed ratio of the input DC voltage at the input-side switch node of the inductor. A voltage converter and a power management integrated circuit having the voltage dividing circuitry are also provided.

    Abstract: A 3-level ripple quantization scheme provides power transistor (MOS) strength-tuning mechanism focused on the transient clamp period. The 3-level ripple quantization scheme solves the digital low dropout's (D-LDO's) tradeoff between silicon area (e.g., decoupling capacitor size), quiescent power consumption (e.g., speed of comparators), wide load range, and optimal output ripple. The 3-level ripple quantization scheme eliminates oscillation risk from either wide dynamic range or parasitic by exploiting asynchronous pulse patterns. As such, ripple magnitude for both fast di/dt loading events and various steady-state scenarios are shrunk effectively, resulting significant efficiency benefits.
