    Abstract: Described are apparatuses and methods for power management. The apparatus may include a power gate including a plurality of current sources. The power gate may be coupled to a load. The apparatus may further include a voltage control circuit, coupled to the power gate, to determine and select one or more current sources of the plurality of current sources to supply to the load. The apparatus may further include a current control circuit, coupled to the voltage control circuit, to control individual current sources of the one or more current sources to output a constant current. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods of using such apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes a control circuitry to generate error information based on a value of the feedback voltage generated from an output voltage, generate output information to control a power switching unit based on the error information provided to a forward path in the control circuitry, and adjust a gain of the forward path based on a gain factor computed based at least in part on a first value of the output information in order to cause the output information to have a second value. The control circuitry also computes a value of correction information when the output voltage is within a target value range, and adjusts the control information, based on the correction information, when the output voltage is outside the target value range.
