Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a dynamically adjustable gate driver for switching devices. An example power switching system includes a gate driver circuit including gate driver segments to adjust a transition time of a switch from a first time to a second time in response to a segment control signal, the transition time corresponding to a time to change a state of the switch, and a controller to obtain a first trip signal to indicate that a voltage exceeds a first threshold, obtain a second trip signal to indicate that the voltage is less than a second threshold, and transmit the segment control signal to the gate driver circuit when the switch is to change state and when the voltage exceeds the first threshold or is less than the second threshold.

Abstract: Analog pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuits and techniques are presented for improving output voltage load transient response in controlling DC to DC conversion systems in which a transient detector circuit restarts a PWM carrier ramp waveform to initiate asynchronous injection of a pulse between the regular periodic PWM pulses in a fixed frequency pulse stream to mitigate the effect of output inductor energy depletion on output voltage.
