Abstract:
A system that includes a regulator unit is disclosed. The regulator unit includes first and second phase units whose outputs are coupled to through first and second coupled inductors, respectively, to a power supply node of a circuit block. The first phase unit may be configured to discharge, for a first period of time, the power supply node through the first inductor in response to determining a sense current is greater than a demand current. The operation of the second phase unit may follow that of the first phase unit after a second period of time has elapsed.

Claim (Index 34):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a reference voltage generator circuit configured to generate a reference voltage level on a reference signal; and a plurality of phase units coupled to a supply signal via respective inductors of a plurality of mutually coupled inductors; a plurality of filter circuits, wherein each filter circuit is configured to generate a respective filtered output signal of a plurality of filtered output signals, wherein a particular filtered output signal is based on an output signal of a corresponding phase unit of the plurality of phase units; and wherein a first phase unit of the plurality of phase units is configured to determine a time to sink a current from the supply signal via a corresponding inductor of the plurality of mutually coupled inductors based on at least one filtered output signal of the plurality of filtered output signals.
