Abstract: A proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) generator, for example, generates a PTAT current (IPTAT) and a VBE (voltage base-to-emitter) in a first regulation loop. A voltage-to-current converter is operable to generate a complementary to absolute temperature current (ICTAT). The IPTAT and ICTAT are summed to obtain a zero temperature coefficient current (IZTC). One ICTAT and one resistor are used to generate the IZTC signal.

Abstract: In described examples, a first and second driver each include a first-rail output transistor including a first terminal coupled to a first power rail and a second-rail output transistor including a first terminal coupled to a second power rail. The first-rail output transistor of each of the first and second drivers includes a second terminal coupled to a second terminal of the second-rail output transistor of an output node of each respective first and second driver. A resistive load includes a first terminal coupled to the first-driver output node and includes a second terminal coupled to the second-driver output node. A sampling circuit generates an indication of an impedance of at least one of the output transistors of the first and second drivers.

Abstract: A system includes a digital controller in a voltage regulator. The system also includes a passgate array including two or more passgate transistors, where the passgate array is configured to provide a load current to a load, and where the digital controller is configured to activate and deactivate each passgate transistor in the passgate array. The system also includes a feedback loop configured to provide an error signal to the digital controller, the error signal based on a difference between an output voltage of the voltage regulator and a programmed voltage for the voltage regulator. The digital controller is configured to activate or deactivate a passgate transistor based at least in part on the error signal. The digital controller is also configured to activate at least one passgate transistor and deactivate at least one passgate transistor responsive to a clock cycle.

Abstract: A ripple voltage detector circuit comprises a pulse generator, a direct current-to-direct current (DC-DC) converter coupled to the pulse generator, and a first control loop coupled to the pulse generator and the DC-DC converter. The first control loop is configured to measure an output voltage of the DC-DC converter, determine an output ripple voltage of the output voltage, determine a ripple coefficient based on the output ripple voltage, determine a reference peak inductor current based on the ripple coefficient, and determine a peak value of an inductor current during a switching cycle, and transition a switching state of the DC-DC converter based on the reference peak inductor current and the peak value of the inductor current.
