    Abstract: A switching regulator may be used to generate an output voltage from an input voltage. The switching regulator includes; an inductor including a first terminal and a second terminal that passes an inductor current from the first terminal to the second terminal, a first switch that applies the input voltage to the first terminal when turned ON, a second switch that applies a ground potential to the first terminal when turned ON, a feedback circuit configured to estimate a load receiving the output voltage, detect when the inductor current reaches an upper bound or a lower bound, and adjust the lower bound based on the estimated load, and a switch driver configured to control the first switch and the second switch, such that the inductor current is between the upper bound and the lower bound in response to at least one feedback signal provided by the feedback circuit.

    Abstract: A clock generating device includes a first voltage output circuit configured to output a first voltage corresponding to a power supply voltage in response to a preliminary clock signal, a clock output circuit configured to generate the preliminary clock signal and a final clock signal at a period corresponding to a difference between the first voltage and a negative feedback voltage, a negative feedback voltage generating circuit configured to generate the negative feedback voltage from a reference value corresponding to a frequency of the final clock signal and a second voltage and filtered to a uniform voltage level, and a second voltage output circuit configured to output the second voltage to the negative feedback voltage generating unit, the second voltage having lower sensitivity of fluctuations in the power supply voltage than the first voltage.
