Abstract
A voltage regulator may include a voltage converter to generate an output voltage based on an input voltage and a control signal. The voltage regulator may also include a control loop to adjust the control signal based on a magnitude of an error between a digital representation of the output voltage and an adaptive digital reference voltage. Additionally, the voltage regulator can have adaptive voltage positioning logic to modify the adaptive digital reference voltage based on the magnitude of the error.
