    Abstract: A voltage regulator provides a load device with a regulated voltage, and includes a first regulator circuit, a second regulator circuit, a first control loop circuit, and a second control loop circuit. The load device and the first regulator circuit are connected in series. The load device and the second regulator circuit are connected in parallel. The first control loop circuit adaptively adjusts a first bias voltage of the first regulator circuit in response to a load condition at the output node of the voltage regulator, wherein the first control loop circuit includes a capacitor coupled between the first power rail and an output node of a feedback amplifier. The second control loop circuit adaptively adjusts a second bias voltage of the second regulator circuit in response to the load condition at the output node of the voltage regulator.

    Abstract: A phase error compensation circuit and a method for compensating a phase error between a reference clock and a feedback clock are provided. The phase error compensation circuit includes a first programmable delay circuit, a second programmable delay circuit and at least one swapping circuit. The first programmable delay circuit provides a first delay. The second programmable delay circuit provides a second delay. At a present cycle, the first delay is unchanged, wherein the swapping circuit applies the first delay to the feedback clock for generating a compensated feedback clock and applies the second delay to the reference clock for generating a compensated reference clock. At a next cycle, the second delay is unchanged, where the swapping circuit applies the second delay to the feedback clock for generating the compensated feedback clock and applies the first delay to the reference clock for generating the compensated reference clock.

    Abstract: A one-coil multi-core inductor-capacitor (LC) oscillator is provided. The one-coil multi-core LC oscillator includes a main coil and at least one mode suppression device. The main coil includes an outer wire and a central wire, wherein the outer wire is coupled to a first core circuit and a second core circuit, and the central wire is coupled between a first node and a second node of the outer wire. More particularly, an outer loop formed by the outer wire corresponds to a first mode of the one-coil multi-core LC oscillator, and inner loops formed by the outer wire and the central wire correspond to a second mode of the one-coil multi-core LC oscillator, where the at least one mode suppression device is configured to suppress one of the first mode and the second mode.
