Patent number: 9768691Abstract: A switching power regulator provides for power regulation for a load, based at least in part on comparison of an output voltage with a reference voltage. The reference voltage may be changed, and in some cases changed dynamically, while regulated power is provided to the load. The switching power regulator may include a bypass switch for coupling ends of an output inductor.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Endura Technologies LLCInventors: Hassan Ihs, Taner Dosluoglu
