Abstract
An apparatus for supplying power to a bursty or highly dynamic load. The apparatus includes a first circuit for supplying charge to the load at a first voltage, and a second circuit for replenishing the charge depleted from the first circuit, wherein the second circuit is charged at a second voltage greater than the first voltage in order to achieve a defined rate of charge replenishment. The apparatus may include a feedback network for controlling the voltage applied to the load in response to process and temperature variations. The feedback network may regulate the charge capacity of the second circuit, the resistance between the first and second circuits, the duration of the charge replenishment, or the second voltage in which the second circuit is charged.
