Abstract:
The present invention discloses a voltage regulator, and a control circuit and a control method therefor. The method for controlling a voltage regulator comprises: receiving a dynamic voltage identification signal which instructs the voltage regulator to change its output voltage to a target voltage, and generating a compensation signal to shorten an interval for the output voltage of the voltage regulator to reach the target voltage.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a multi-phase switching regulator, a driver circuit of a multi-phase switching regulator, and a control method of a multi-phase switching regulator. The multi-phase switching regulator includes: at least two power stages, switching power transistors in the power stages to convert an input voltage to an output voltage according to pulse width modulation (PWM) signals generated by corresponding PWM controllers respectively; and a current balance circuit, generating a current balance signal according to the current of the corresponding power stage and a phase adjustment signal to averagely distribute current over the active power stages. In the present invention, the gain of the current balance circuit is adjustable, to avoid or reduce output voltage overshoot and undershoot when the phase number changes, while the current balance function is still achieved in normal operation.
