On-chip active decoupling capacitors for regulating the voltage of an integrated circuit include a reference voltage generator, a latch-based comparator and switched DECAPs. The latched-based comparator is for comparing a reference voltage generated by the reference voltage generator and a supply voltage of the integrated circuit and outputting a comparison result. The switched DECAPs includes at least two capacitors and a plurality of switches, and coupling the at least two capacitors into a parallel configuration to sink current or a series configuration to source current based on the comparison result output by the latch-based comparator. The aforementioned on-chip active decoupling capacitors not only have lower power consumption, but also larger detection range.
