Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system with a first counter circuit, a first converter circuit, a second counter circuit, and a second converter circuit. The first counter circuit is configured to output a first count value based on a comparison between a first reference value and a switched node value of a voltage regulator. The first converter circuit is configured to adjust an activation time of the voltage regulator based on the first count value. The second counter circuit is configured to output a second count value based on a comparison between a second reference value and the switched node value of the voltage regulator. The second converter circuit is configured to adjust an amount of current drawn away from an output of the voltage regulator based on the second count value.
