    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes analog or mixed-signal circuitry that operates in response to a first signal, and digital circuitry that operates in response to a second signal. The apparatus further includes a signal retiming circuit. The signal retiming circuit retimes an output signal of a digital signal source to reduce interference between the digital circuitry and the analog or mixed-signal circuitry by retiming edges of the output signal of the digital signal source to fall on cycle boundaries of the first signal.

    Abstract: A method includes generating one of a first clock signal and a second clock signal from the other clock signal. The first clock signal is configured to be used to synchronize an operation of an analog system, and the second clock signal is configured to be used to synchronize an operation of a digital system. The method includes using a phase detector of the analog system to measure a timing of the first clock signal relative to the second clock signal; and the method includes controlling a delay element of the digital system to regulate the timing based on the measurement by the phase detector to suppress noise in the analog system.
