    Abstract: A power conversion circuit includes an input terminal, a first switching element, a second switching element, a third switching element, a fourth switching element, a capacitor; an inductor; and a controller configured to control the switching elements to be switched ON/OFF, such that a voltage at the load is regulated by repetitively (1) charging the inductor with a first current before charging the capacitor causing a second current to flow in the inductor and (2) charging the inductor with a third current before discharging the capacitor causing a fourth current to flow in the inductor.

    Abstract: The invention provides a regulator for DC-DC hybrid-mode power regulation of an output voltage and a load current. The regulator may include a controller and a back-end circuit. The controller controls the output voltage and the load current by charging a connection node when a driving signal is at an on-level, and stopping charging the connection node when the driving signal is at an off-level. The back-end circuit is coupled to the controller, capable of switching between a first mode and a second mode to control transition of the driving signal by different schemes. The back-end circuit switches from the second mode to the first mode when a mode-switch criterion is satisfied, and whether the mode-switch criterion is satisfied is independent of a measurement of the output voltage.

    Abstract: A voltage regulator includes a plurality of output stages and a controller. The plurality of output stages are arranged for selectively enabling to generate output voltages and output currents or not according to a plurality of control signals, respectively. The controller is arranged for sensing the output currents of the output stages, and generating the control signals according to the sensed output currents. When the controller generates the control signals to reduce a quantity of the enabled output stages, the controller determines whether a summation of the sensed output currents is greater than a first threshold or not to determine whether to enable more output stages, then a period of time later, the controller selectively determines whether the summation of the sensed output currents is greater than a second threshold or not to determine whether to enable more output stages, wherein the second threshold is lower than the first threshold.
