According to one embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed. The IC includes a package, a die mounted within the package, circuit components mounted on the die, and a voltage regulator mounted on the die to supply power to the circuit components.

On die voltage regulator

A differential voltage magnitude comparator to receive a differential input signal and a differential reference signal, in which a magnitude difference of the differential input signal is compared to the magnitude reference of the differential reference signal. An output state depends on the magnitude difference of the differential input signal to the magnitude difference of the differential reference signal. If the magnitude difference of the differential input signal is below the magnitude difference of the differential reference signal, the output is in one state, but if the magnitude difference of the differential input signal is above the magnitude difference of the differential reference signal, the output is in the other state. The comparison and logical operation to provide the output states are generated in single stage.
