Abstract
A voltage regulator includes a slew-up circuit, a slew-down circuit and a transient response control circuit, and provides a regulated output voltage. The slew-up circuit is designed to couple a first node of the voltage regulator to a first constant reference potential upon occurrence of a first condition of the regulated output voltage. The slew-down circuit is designed to couple the first node to a second constant reference potential upon occurrence of a second condition of the regulated output voltage. The transient response control circuit is designed to disable the slew-up circuit and the slew-down circuit upon the rate of change of the regulated output voltage exceeding a predetermined rate. The first node is one of an output node and an output steering node of the voltage regulator. Transient response of the voltage regulator is accordingly improved.
