Abstract:
A digital voltage regulator and a method to regulate an output voltage at an output node based on an input voltage is presented. The regulator has a driver stage with N driver slices, with N>1. Each of the N driver slices can be activated or deactivated individually. A driver slice comprises a current source to provide an output current component to the output node, if the driver slice is activated. Furthermore, the regulator has a control unit to activate a number n of the N driver slices, based on a deviation of a feedback voltage from a reference voltage, where the feedback voltage is dependent on the output voltage.

Claim (Index 13):
The digital voltage regulator according  claim 12 , wherein\n the second drive voltage is dependent on a threshold voltage of the pass transistor and a trigger voltage; and the second drive voltage is such that the pass transistor of the deactivated driver slice starts conducting and provides the output current component to the output node, if the output voltage falls to or below the trigger voltage.
