    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 voltage regulation circuit is provided. The voltage regulation circuit regulates a level of a supply voltage provided by an automotive battery. The voltage regulation circuit includes a selector and an error amplifier. The selector receives a plurality of predetermined voltages and selects one of the plurality of predetermined voltages according to a control signal to serve as a first reference voltage. The error amplifier generates an error signal according to the first reference voltage and a feedback signal. The feedback signal is related to the supply voltage. The voltage regulation circuit regulates the level of the supply voltage according to the error signal.

    Abstract: A voltage converter is provided. The voltage converter includes a compensation circuit, a first comparator circuit, a first inductor, a first driver circuit, and a phase-lag circuit. The compensation circuit generates a first compensation signal according to a loading state of the voltage converter. The first comparator circuit compares the first compensation signal and a first reference signal to generate a first comparison signal. The first driver circuit generates a first driving voltage to the first inductor according to the first comparison signal. The phase-lag circuit is coupled between the first comparison circuit and the first driver. The phase-lag circuit modifies a duty of the first comparison signal for changing a first inductor current following the first inductor.

    Abstract: A power supply configured to supply a modulated voltage to a power amplifier is shown. The power supply has an alternating current (AC) component generator, a direct current (DC) component generator, and a transition accelerator. The AC component generator generates an AC component of the modulated voltage according to an envelope tracking signal. The DC component generator generates a DC component of the modulated voltage according to the operational voltage range of the power amplifier. The transition accelerator is coupled to an output terminal of the DC component generator to speed up the transition of the modulated voltage.
