Abstract:
1. A boost regulator system, comprising: a first pump element coupled to receive a first input voltage; a first switching device coupled to the first pump element, the first switching device further causing a finite amount of energy to be stored in the first pump element in response to a first control signal; a first capacitor coupled to the first pump element and the first switching device, the first capacitor further storing the finite amount of energy and generating a first output voltage in response to the finite amount of energy; a boost controller (BC) coupled to receive the first output voltage, the BC further configured to regulate the first output voltage by generating the first control signal; a second switching device coupled to a second capacitor, the second switching device further causing a second voltage to develop across the second capacitor in response to a second control signal; a third capacitor coupled to the first pump element and the second switching device, the third capacitor further generating a third output voltage in response to the finite amount of energy; and a linear controller (LC) coupled to receive the third output voltage, the LC further configured to regulate the third output voltage by generating the second control signal.
