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.
