Abstract
The present disclosure includes circuits and methods for controlling the operation of a switching regulator. In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes a circuit comprising a switching regulator with a current control loop comprising a capacitor configured to store a first voltage during a first phase and configured to boost a voltage produced by an output current through a low side switching device by the first voltage in a second phase. Circuitry compares the boosted voltage to a control voltage produced by a control current through a replica device corresponding to the low side switching device.
