Abstract

A circuit for providing a regulated voltage to a load. The circuit includes a power converter coupled to the load and including at least one pulse-width modulated switching device, a control circuit for providing a pulse-width modulated control signal to the pulse-width modulated switching device of the power converter based on an output voltage of the power converter, and a transient override circuit responsive to a load voltage for biasing the pulse-width modulated switching device conductive during certain load voltage conditions.
