Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for minimizing power consumption in a reference voltage circuit. A capacitor is coupled to a reference voltage circuit and charged to a voltage that equals the reference voltage of the reference voltage circuit. The capacitor is then decoupled from the reference voltage circuit and power to the reference voltage circuit is turned off. The capacitor then provides the capacitor voltage to other circuits as a reference voltage. After a selected period of time has elapsed since the capacitor was last charged to the reference voltage, the reference voltage circuit is turned on and the capacitor is again coupled to the reference voltage circuit. The reference voltage circuit then recharges the capacitor to the reference voltage level. This process is repeated to periodically charge the capacitor to the reference voltage.

Abstract: A circuit for improving transient response for a load coupled to a voltage regulator by employing both load current level information and the regulator's output voltage to control a loop that provides relatively faster and accurate regulation of the regulator's output voltage. The circuit includes an error amplifier that is coupled to a reference voltage and feedback resistors connected to the regulator's output voltage. This error amplifier outputs a compensation signal that is subsequently summed at a summing point with additional information regarding the amount of current flowing through the load. Then, this summed compensation signal is subsequently employed by a pulse width modulation (PWM) comparator and other components to regulate the regulator's output voltage with improved speed and accuracy. The circuit can be arranged in different topologies, including buck, boost, and buck/boost.
