Abstract
A buck circuit having a fast transient response mechanism is provided. The buck circuit comprises a high side MOS, a low side MOS, a transient control module and an operation control module. The low side MOS is connected to the high side MOS at a connection point for generating an output voltage to an external load according to an input voltage from the high side MOS. The operation control module controls the operation of the high and the low side MOS according to the output voltage when the external load is in a heavy load state such that the transient control module is disabled. When the external load turns from the heavy load state to a light load state such that the output voltage raises over a predetermined level, the transient control module is enabled to turn on the low side MOS for discharging to pull down the output voltage.
