Abstract: A voltage regulator that includes a high-side and a low-side power transistor is implemented where the high-side and the low-side power transistors are operable to output power to a transient load. The voltage regulator further includes control circuitry coupled to the high-side low-side power transistors and the transient load, with the control circuitry operable to receive a control signal from the transient load or the system. The control signal may correspond to an operating voltage of the transient load. In response to a decrease in a power level, the control circuitry may turn off the high-side power transistor, turn on the low-side power transistor a first duration, and turn off the low-side power transistor for a second duration. The first duration and the second duration may be based, at least in part, on the operating voltage.

Abstract: Plural batteries installed in an information handling system are simultaneously charged in a constant current mode to a predetermined charge and then in a constant voltage mode to a full charge to provide a reduced charge time and improved battery life. A current regulator integrated in a battery casing monitors current applied at the battery to maintain constant voltage charging. Voltage to ground of the other batteries is monitored to adjust current at those batteries where voltages in all of the battery cells are maintained substantially equal during charging.
