Abstract
A regulator system with dynamic droop including a regulator control network which is adapted to control regulation of an output voltage to a reference level, a DC droop network which provides a droop signal to modify the reference level based on output load according to a predetermined DC load line, and a dynamic droop network which adjusts the droop signal to delay recovery to the predetermined DC load line within an AC load line tolerance in response to a load transient. A transient reduction network may be included to reduce transient overshoot for load insertion or release depending upon duty cycle type. The dynamic droop network adjusts the droop signal to optimize utilization of an AC delay parameter while transitioning between an AC offset voltage allowance and the predetermined DC load line.
