Abstract:
1. A switching regulator for providing a regulated output voltage from an unregulated input voltage, the switching regulator comprising: a control module configured to provide a control signal based on a desired regulated output voltage; a delay module configured to delay the control signal to provide a first delayed control signal and a second delayed control signal; a pre-driver module configured to provide a first drive signal based on the first delayed control signal and a second drive signal based on the second delayed control signal; and a power switch module comprising first and second active power switches coupled in parallel and configured to switchably couple the unregulated input voltage to an output stage based on the first and second drive signals, respectively, wherein a width-to-length ratio of a channel associated with the first active power switch is less than a width-to-length ratio of a channel associated with the second active power switch.
