Abstract
A disclosed apparatus includes a converter for receiving a supply and regulating a load. The converter uses a gate driver that is controlled by a controller via a control loop. The control loop controls the converter in response to a feedback signal. The controller is located on a first integrated circuit and the gate driver is located on as second integrated circuit. A process geometry of the first integrated circuit is finer than a process geometry of the second integrated circuit.
