    Abstract: A current-mode regulator relies on indirect current measurement to facilitate slope compensation used to stabilize the operation of a buck converter. The current-mode regulator comprises an inductor, a switching network, and a controller. The inductor delivers an output current to a load. The switching network selectively connects the inductor input to an input voltage or a second voltage. The regulator controls the switching network. An inner loop control circuit of the regulator comprises the switching network, a current measuring circuit, a slope circuit, a comparator, and a switching controller. The current measuring circuit comprises a passive network connected to the inductor input and operative to indicate an inductor current as a measurement voltage. The slope circuit applies a time-varying voltage having a positive slope to the measurement voltage. The comparator compares a slope compensated measurement voltage to the control voltage. The switching regulator controls the switching network in response to the output of the comparator.

    Abstract: High frequency current transients, due to logic switching inside the CPU, are reduced by applying clock signals having different relative phases to different parts of the CPU. This reduces the amplitude of current variations, and hence noise induced onto the power supply voltage. In some embodiments, different CPU cores within multi-core CPUs are clocked with a different clock phases. Additionally a method and circuit for low-latency communication in the presence of large OCV effects is provided. The low-latency communication may be based on a FIFO. Strobes are used to indicate safe points in time to update and read signals between transmitter and receiver. The strobes are generated in a central clock generation module. The strobe mechanism is used to transfer the read and write pointers between the transmitter and receiver, while the payload data is transferred using a FIFO data array that allows data writes to be asynchronous to corresponding data reads.

    Abstract: A DC-DC converter has a Step-Up stage connected to a Step-Down stage. A common Step-Down controller is designed and configured such that a single reference voltage is compared to the output voltage of the Step-Down stage by a single comparator, producing a single error signal. The error signal is then compared to two different saw signals to generate first and second pulse-width modulated signals respectively. The first and second pulse-width modulated signals are inputted to a control unit that generates a first pair of control signals and a second pair of control signals, which control switching of the Step-Up stage and of the Step-Down stage.
