Abstract

Methods and apparatus relating to a low ripple mechanism of mode change in switched capacitor voltage regulators are described. In an embodiment, a mode change of a Switching Capacitor Voltage Regulator (SCVR) is caused based at least in part on a comparison of an output voltage of the SCVR and a reference voltage. The output voltage is sensed based at least in part on a clock signal. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
