A signal regulator includes a switching circuit, a controller, and a
threshold generator. The switching circuit generates a regulated output
voltage, and the controller activates the switching circuit for a
predetermined time when the regulated output signal has a predetermined
relationship to a threshold voltage. The threshold generator generates
the threshold voltage in response to the controller. Generating the
threshold voltage in response to the switching controller can reduce the
affect that noise has on the operation of the switching circuit, and can
thus decrease the magnitude of the noise-induced jitter in the
regulator's steady-state switching frequency as compared to conventional
switching regulators.
