  • Patent number: 8836307
    Abstract: In a PWM signal generation method of a voltage regulator, an output sense signal, a first ramp signal and a second ramp signal are provided. A first time point of the first ramp signal crossing with the output sense signal is used to determine a start point of an ON-time of a PWM signal, and a second time point of the second ramp signal crossing with the output sense signal is used to determine an end point of the ON-time of the PWM signal. Moreover, the first ramp signal is reset to a reference voltage at the first time point and then maintained at the reference voltage, and further ramps down starting from the end point of the ON-time. The second ramp signal ramps up starting from the start point of the ON-time, and then is reset to a preset voltage at the second time point.

  • Patent number: 8766617
    Abstract: An exemplary method for improving voltage identification (VID) transient response is adapted to a voltage regulator and includes steps of: continuously sensing an inductor current of the voltage regulator to thereby output a current sense signal; during a steady state operation period, sampling the current sense signal to thereby obtain a sampling result for providing a droop control signal; after entering a VID transient period from the steady state operation period, holding the sampling result for providing the droop control signal; and taking the droop control signal as a consideration factor of producing a pulse width modulation signal to regulate an output voltage of the voltage regulator.

  • Publication number: 20100167663
    Abstract: A mobile communication device is provided. The mobile communication device comprises a radio frequency (RF) module, a first communication module, a second communication module and a control module. The RF module is used to transmit and receive RF signals. The first communication module utilizes the RF module to establish a first communication connection. The second communication module utilizes the RF module to establish a second communication connection. The control module arbitrates requests to access the RF module from the first communication module and the second communication module.
