Abstract:
A method for suppressing voltage overshoot at an output of a voltage regulator is disclosed. The voltage regulator includes at least one channel having a first set of (high-side) transistors and a second set of (low-side) transistors. In implementations of the method, an output voltage at an output of at least one channel of a voltage regulator is detected and compared with a reference voltage. A rate of change associated with the output voltage is also determined and compared with a threshold rate of change. When the output voltage is greater than the reference voltage and the rate of change is greater than the threshold rate of change, a resistance value associated with the second set of transistors is increased from a first resistance value to a second resistance value to prevent the output voltage from overshooting and/or to suppress an output voltage overshoot.

Claim (Index 27):
The voltage regulator of  claim 26 , further comprising a voltage detector configured to detect the output voltage and compare the output voltage with the reference voltage, the voltage detector further configured to transmit a signal associated with a comparison of the output voltage with the reference voltage to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether the output voltage is greater than the reference voltage based on the signal received from the voltage detector.
