Abstract: A down-converted voltage regulator is provided. The first energy storage element provides a pre-charged voltage between a connection terminal and a ground terminal during the first phase. The second energy storage element has a first terminal, and it has a second terminal coupled to the output terminal of the voltage regulator. The third energy storage element is coupled between the output terminal of the voltage regulator and the ground terminal. During the first phase, the first terminal of the second energy storage element is coupled to the first energy storage element through the connection terminal to receive the pre-charged voltage. During the second phase, the first energy storage element is coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal of the voltage regulator to be pre-charged to store the pre-charged voltage, and the first terminal of the second energy storage element is coupled to the ground terminal.

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.

Abstract: A transient boost controller for controlling a transient boost circuit of a voltage regulator includes a feedback circuit and a processing circuit. The feedback circuit obtains a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal sensed from an output capacitor of the voltage regulator, wherein the first feedback signal is derived from a voltage signal at a first plate of the output capacitor, and the second feedback signal is derived from a voltage signal at a second plate of the output capacitor. The processing circuit generates a detection result according to the first feedback signal and the second feedback signal, and outputs the detection result for controlling the transient boost circuit of the voltage regulator.

Abstract: A voltage regulator includes a plurality of output stages and a controller. The plurality of output stages are arranged for selectively enabling to generate output voltages and output currents or not according to a plurality of control signals, respectively. The controller is arranged for sensing the output currents of the output stages, and generating the control signals according to the sensed output currents. When the controller generates the control signals to reduce a quantity of the enabled output stages, the controller determines whether a summation of the sensed output currents is greater than a first threshold or not to determine whether to enable more output stages, then a period of time later, the controller selectively determines whether the summation of the sensed output currents is greater than a second threshold or not to determine whether to enable more output stages, wherein the second threshold is lower than the first threshold.
