Abstract:
A deglitch circuit, or look-back, may be used to reduce or avoid reacting to a transient overvoltage situation by a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator may delay reacting to an overvoltage situation unless the overvoltage situation persists for more than a first programmable number of cycles.

Claim (Index 1):
A voltage regulator, comprising:\n at least one phase of a voltage regulator, each phase comprising a high side switch and a low side switch coupled in series between a higher voltage and a lower voltage, with an output inductor having a first end coupled to a node between the high side switch and the low side switch and a second end coupled to a load, with a bypass switch in parallel to the inductor; an overvoltage comparator for determining if voltage provided to a load is over an overvoltage threshold and providing an overvoltage indicator based on results of the determination; a deglitch circuit for providing a smoothed overvoltage indicator by removing transient indications from the overvoltage indicator that the voltage provided to the load is over the overvoltage threshold; and a controller configured to operate the high side switch, the low side switch, and the bypass switch of each phase based on the smoothed overvoltage indicator.
