    摘要: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a controller to control a voltage regulator. The controller may have a first comparator circuit to compare a first reference voltage to a feedback voltage. In turn, the first comparator circuit may include: a first comparator having a first input terminal to receive the feedback voltage and a second input terminal to receive the reference voltage and an output node to output an error signal based on the comparison; and a first pre-charge circuit coupled between the first input terminal and the output node configured to pre-charge a first portion of a compensation network to a pre-charge level. The first controller may further include a second comparator circuit coupled to the first comparator circuit compare the error signal to a ramp signal and to generate a first control output to control a power train of the voltage regulator in a first mode of operation.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage from a power source and to provide an output current at an output. The apparatus further includes a battery charger, coupled to the voltage regulator, to provide a charge current. The apparatus further includes a controller to control the charge current such that the charge current is less than or equal to a current available from the power source minus the output current.

    摘要: A voltage converter includes a comparator that continuously monitors an output voltage of the voltage converter. The comparator includes a first comparator core utilizing first and second switched capacitors and a second comparator core using third and fourth switched capacitors. The first comparator core is powered down or in a refresh mode while the second comparator core is monitoring the output voltage. The second comparator core is powered down or in the refresh mode while the first comparator core is monitoring the output voltage. The first and second switched capacitors are configured in series with an amplifier stage of the first comparator core while the first comparator core is monitoring the output voltage. The refresh mode charges the first (third) and second (fourth) switched capacitors to a scaled version of the output voltage and a reference voltage less an offset voltage, respectively.
