Abstract

In an embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed that comprises a voltage regulator and a regulator booster. The voltage regulator is supplied by an input and is configured to generate a regulated output. The regulated output has a voltage corresponding to an operating point of the voltage regulator. The regulator booster is connected to the voltage regulator and, when activated, is configured to boost the voltage of the regulated output by a target amount. The target amount is at least a portion of a magnitude of a voltage droop relative to the operating point that is caused by a change in a current load on the regulated output.
