The present invention discloses an integrated voltage regulator comprising
a switching regulation and an additional regulation mechanism. The
additional regulation mechanism permits better control of the voltage
regulator to enable improved performance. The present invention
integrated voltage regulator provides an output voltage Vout in the form
Vout=(Vin-Vamp)*(Duty Cycle)-Vslew where the additional regulation
mechanism comprises an amplitude modulation Vamp to modulate the input
voltage Vin, a slew rate modulation Vslew to modulate the output voltage
Vout, or a combination of amplitude modulation and slew rate modulation.
