    Abstract: A voltage regulator provides a load device with a regulated voltage, and includes a first regulator circuit, a second regulator circuit, a first control loop circuit, and a second control loop circuit. The load device and the first regulator circuit are connected in series. The load device and the second regulator circuit are connected in parallel. The first control loop circuit adaptively adjusts a first bias voltage of the first regulator circuit in response to a load condition at the output node of the voltage regulator, wherein the first control loop circuit includes a capacitor coupled between the first power rail and an output node of a feedback amplifier. The second control loop circuit adaptively adjusts a second bias voltage of the second regulator circuit in response to the load condition at the output node of the voltage regulator.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB) with a first signal path and a second signal path therein, a first finger disposed on the first signal path, a second finger disposed on the second signal path, a controller disposed on the PCB and coupled to a first memory via the first finger and to a second memory via the second finger, and a damping device disposed on the second signal path. The first and second signal paths share a common segment between the controller and a branch point on the PCB. The damping device is disposed between the second finger and the branch point. The distance between the first finger and the branch point within the first signal path is smaller than the distance between the second finger and the branch point within the second signal path.
