Provided is a digitally-controlled linear regulator having noise-shaped
component selection. The digitally-controlled linear regulator has a
regulated-voltage sensor, a comparator module, a quantization module, and
an impedance switching network. The regulated-voltage sensor is operably
coupled to sense an output voltage of the digitally-controlled linear
regulator to produce a sensed output voltage. The comparator module is
operably coupled to compare the sensed output voltage with a reference
voltage at a predetermined clock rate to produce a digital regulation
signal. The quantization module is operably coupled to quantize the
digital regulation signal to produce a quantized regulation signal. The
impedance switching network is operably coupled to convert a source
voltage into the output voltage of the digitally-controlled linear
regulator based on the quantized regulation signal.
