Claim Text:
1. A turbo circuit for increasing an output of a voltage regulator having a plurality of power stages, said turbo circuit comprising: an activation sub-circuit coupled to a feedback signal of said voltage regulator, said activation sub-circuit configured to generate a multi-stage ON signal for turning on all of said plurality of power stages by comparing said feedback signal, from which a transient component is not removed, to said feedback signal from which said transient component is removed, said activation sub-circuit configured to generate said multi-stage ON signal when said feedback signal exceeds said feedback signal from which said transient component is removed by a predetermined threshold; a deactivation sub-circuit coupled to said feedback signal, said deactivation sub-circuit configured to cancel said multi-stage ON signal when said feedback signal has a substantially zero slope.
