Voltage transition technique for a voltage converter

The present invention relates to a voltage converter based on a switching regulator, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of dynamically controlling an output of the voltage converter to rapidly transition between different power supply voltages as required in many electronic devices. The switching regulator generates an output supply voltage that tracks a voltage originally provided by an internal DAC. During the supply voltage variation, a step control signal is provided to introduce a supplemental voltage step into the reference voltage before the reference voltage is used to generate the output supply voltage. The switching regulator is thereby overdriven under this supplemental voltage step, enhancing the slew rate and the settling time of the output supply voltage to meet stringent requirements imposed by many electronic devices.
