Abstract
A voltage regulator may include a comparator with a first comparator input to receive a reference voltage, a second comparator input to receive an output voltage from a phase interleaved converter, and a comparator input. The regulator may also include a set of cascaded flip-flops corresponding to phases of the converter. The set of cascaded flip-flops may have a plurality of phase outputs to trigger a phase transition in the converter if the output voltage falls below the reference voltage.
