A low dropout regulator that produces an output includes a comparison circuit, configured to compare a signal representative of the output and a reference signal to produce a comparison result. The low dropout regulator also includes a loop controller, coupled to the comparison circuit, configured to generate an output circuit control signal based at least in part on the comparison result. The low dropout regulator also includes an output circuit, comprising two or more output stages, configured to adjust a number of active output stages of the two or more output stages based on the output circuit control signal.
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 high efficiency converter is provided. The converter can be used in applications requiring fast transient response under a first loading condition, and high efficiency under a second loading condition. The converter converts one or more input voltages via two or more conversion paths. Each of the two or more conversion paths corresponds to a different loading condition which indicates a magnitude of a load driven by the converter (e.g., heavy or light), and a target transient response of the load (e.g., fast or slow). A conversion path for a heavy or fast loading condition converts an input voltage directly to a target output voltage. A conversion path for a light or slow loading condition includes a two-stage architecture.
