Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure include high slew rate switching regulator circuits and methods. In one embodiment, switching regulators are coupled to an output node. A first switching regulator may drive the output node. A second switching regulator may drive the output node through a capacitor. Control circuitry may include feedback inputs to maintain a first voltage on the output of the first switching regulator on one terminal of the capacitor and further to maintain a second voltage on the output of the second switching regulator on the other terminal of the capacitor.
