Abstract:
A voltage regulator has a switching circuit and a control circuit. The switching circuit provides an output voltage and an output current. The control circuit provides a switching control signal to the switching circuit to adjust the output voltage, such that the output voltage decreases with a first slope as the output current increases when the output current is less than a first current level, the output voltage decreases with a second slope as the output current increases when the output current is larger than the first current level and is less than a second current level, and the output voltage decreases with a third slope as the output current increases when the output current is larger than the second current level.

Claim (Index 6):
The voltage regulator of  claim 1 , wherein the nonlinear AVP control circuit comprises:\n a voltage generator, configured to provide a first feedback signal in response to the output voltage, the output current and the first slope, configured to provide a second feedback signal in response to the output voltage, the output current and the second slope, and configured to provide a third feedback signal in response to the output voltage, the output current and the third slope; a first comparator, configured to provide a first comparison signal based on a comparison result between the first feedback signal and a first reference voltage; a second comparator, configured to provide a second comparison signal based on a comparison result between the second feedback signal and a second reference voltage that is lower than the first reference voltage; and a third comparator, configured to provide a third comparison signal based on a comparison result between the third feedback signal and a third reference voltage that is lower than the second reference voltage; wherein the first control circuit is configured to provide the switching control signal in response to the first comparison signal, the second comparison signal and the third comparison signal.
