  • Dual mode voltage regulator with reconfiguration capability
    Patent number: 9577523
    Abstract: A dual mode voltage regulator according to one embodiment includes a passive regulator circuit, a switching regulator circuit, and a controller circuit configured to determine parameters of an external select input. The controller is configured to selectively couple, on a cold boot up, either the passive regulator circuit or the switching regulator circuit between an input voltage port and an output load based on the determination of parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2017
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Nicholas P. Cowley, Andrew D. Talbot, Mark Mudd, Stephen J. Spinks, Keith Pinson, Colin L. Perry, Alan J. Martin, Chi Man Kan, Matthew T. Aitken, William L. Barber, Isaac Ali
  • Dual mode voltage regulator with dynamic reconfiguration capability
    Patent number: 9343963
    Abstract: A dual mode voltage regulator according to one embodiment includes a passive regulator circuit; a switching regulator circuit; and a controller circuit configured to monitor operational parameters of the dual mode voltage regulator and selectively couple either the passive regulator circuit or the switching regulator circuit between an input voltage port and an output load. The selective coupling is based on the monitoring of parameters including current through the output load, voltage at the input voltage port and voltage at the output load as well as the availability of a system clock signal.
