Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for mitigating an overshoot of a supply voltage provided with a voltage regulator (VR). In an embodiment, buck converter functionality of a VR is provided with first circuitry comprising a first inductor and first switch circuits variously coupled thereto. Second circuitry of the VR comprises a second inductor and second switch circuits variously coupled thereto. In response to an indication of a voltage overshoot condition, respective states of the first switch circuits and the second switch circuits are configured to enable a conductive path for dissipating energy with the first inductor, the second inductor, and various ones of the first switch circuits and the second switch circuits. In another embodiment, mitigating the voltage overshoot condition comprises alternately toggling between two different configurations of the second switch circuits.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus having a non-linear control to manage power supply droop at an output of a voltage regulator. The apparatus comprises: a first inductor for coupling to a load; a capacitor, coupled to the first inductor, and for coupling to the load; a first high-side switch couple to the first inductor; a first low-side switch coupled to the first inductor; a bridge controller to control when to turn on and off the first high-side and first low-side switches; and a non-linear control (NLC) unit to monitor output voltage on the load, and to cause the bridge controller to turn on the first high-side switch and turn off the first low-side switch when a voltage droop is detected on the load.
