Abstract
A regulator includes a controller, a driving unit, a digital-to-analog converter, and a comparator. The controller outputs a digital reference voltage and a control signal responsive to a comparison signal. The driving unit generates an output voltage at a first node responsive to the control signal. The digital-to-analog converter generates an analog reference voltage responsive to the digital reference voltage. The comparator generates the comparison signal based on the analog reference voltage and the output voltage.
