Abstract
A voltage switching system for an integrated circuit (IC) operable in first and second operational modes includes a handover module, first and second voltage regulators, a switch driver, a transistor, and a comparator. When the IC transitions between modes, the handover module receives ramp control and hand-over start signals, generates comparator and bandwidth control signals based on the hand-over start signal and a ramp signal based on the ramp control signal. The switch driver generates a power control signal based on the comparator control signal and a gate input signal based on the ramp signal. The comparator compares first and second voltage signals based on the power control signal and generates a hand-over complete signal. The handover module generates a final hand-over complete signal based on the hand-over complete signal, indicative of completion of transition between the first and second operational modes.
