Abstract
A high bandwidth factorized power system comprises a discontinuous-mode regulator supplying the input of a fixed-ratio power converter providing an output voltage. The discontinuous-mode regulator delivers power to the fixed ratio converter in a series of operating cycles, each cycle comprising an input phase during which energy is drawn from the input source to an inductor and an output phase during which energy is delivered from the inductor to the regulator output. A controller begins the input phase of an operating cycle of the regulator after the end of the output phase upon sensing that the output voltage is below a minimum voltage threshold.
