Abstract
The system response time of a factorized power architecture may be reduced using a high bandwidth accelerator connected in parallel with a low bandwidth switching regulator to feed one or more downstream high bandwidth current multipliers, e.g. at the point of load. The accelerator may use a high speed linear amplifier to drive the factorized bus using stored energy derived from the bus or a low voltage bias supply. The accelerator may alternatively be connected in series between the switching regulator and the downstream current multipliers.
