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 19):
The method according to  claim 18 , wherein the reference current source comprises an operational amplifier to control the reference current transistor based on the target voltage and based on the voltage drop at the reference current resistor.
