Adaptive voltage controller

Abstract:

In certain aspects, a system includes a voltage controller, wherein the voltage controller includes switches coupled between a voltage supply rail and an output of the voltage controller, each of the switches having a control input, and a control circuit coupled to the control inputs of the switches. The system also includes a timing circuit coupled to the control circuit, wherein the timing circuit includes a delay line, and flops, each of the flops having an input and an output, wherein the input of each of the flops is coupled to a respective node on the delay line, and the outputs of the flops are coupled to the control circuit.
