A switching regulator may include; an inductor connected to a switch node, a power switch connected to the switch node and configured to apply a first voltage to the switch node in response to a first control signal and to apply a second voltage to the switch node in response to a second control signal, and a controller configured to generate the first control signal and the second control signal. The second control signal transitions from low to high following a first dead time after the first control signal transitions from low to high, the first control signal transitions from high to low following a second dead time after the second control signal transitions from high to low level, and an inductor current flowing through the inductor flows in a first direction during the first dead time and in a second direction, different from the first direction, during the second dead time.

Switching regulator and power management integrated circuit

A voltage converter includes first and second charging elements, first and second switches, and first and second switch controllers. The first switch controller adjusts a first activation timing of a first control signal in response to a pulse width modulation signal, a switch signal, and a first control signal. The first control signal is a signal for controlling the first switch. The second switch controller adjusts a second activation timing of a second control signal in response to the pulse width modulation signal, the first control signal, and a second control signal. The second control signal is a signal for controlling the second switch.
