Abstract
A one-shot inductor current scheme which includes a controller to generate a signal to control a high-side switch and a low-side switch such that the high-side switch remains turned on beyond a turn-on time if a voltage level on an output supply rail remains below a reference. The scheme reduces the minimum operating voltage Vmin and/or frequency guard-band of the SoCs (system-on-chips).
