Circuit and method for reducing output noise of regulator

摘要

A circuit and a method for reducing output noise when a pulse width modulation mode is started. A pulse width modulation circuit generates a first pulse signal having a duty cycle that is in accordance with an output voltage of a regulator circuit. A drive circuit generates the output voltage from an input voltage in response to the first pulse signal provided from the pulse width modulation circuit. A feed forward circuit controls the pulse width modulation circuit in a manner to generate the first pulse signal having a duty cycle that maintains the output voltage at a desired level before the pulse width modulation circuit provides the first pulse signal to the drive circuit.
