A Computational Digital Low Dropout (CDLDO) regulator is described that computes a required solution for regulating an output supply as opposed to traditional feedback controllers. The CDLDO regulator is Moore's Law friendly in that it can scale with technology nodes. For example, CDLDO regulator of some embodiments uses a digital approach to voltage regulation, which is orders of magnitude faster than traditional digital LDOs and enables regulation at GHz speeds, making fast dynamic DVFS a reality. The CDLDO also autonomously tunes out the effects of process-voltage-temperature (PVT) and other non-idealities making the settling time totally variation tolerant.

Current monitoring techniques are included in an electronic system that provides power to a load from a power output stage that supplies power to a load. Multiple current control devices form the power output stage in series with multiple sense resistors that provide corresponding sense voltages indicative of current provided through the multiple current control devices to the load in the same or different time intervals. A calibration control circuit controls injection of current through the multiple sense resistors individually and measures the corresponding sense voltages generated by the current to determine resistance values of the multiple sense resistors. A correction subsystem computes a first ratio of a first resistance to a second resistance and a second ratio of a third resistance to a fourth resistance of the multiple sense resistors, and controls compensation for a difference between the first ratio and the second ratio to remove the measurement error.

Embodiments herein relate to a feedback loop in a digital voltage regulator for controlling an output voltage. To avoid instability at light current loads, a gain of the loop is reduced as a power gate code indicates a reduced number of branches in set of current sources are enabled. In an example implementation, the code is classified into one range of a number of ranges, and the gain is set based on the one range. The gain can decrease each time the code enters a lower range, as indicated by the code crossing a threshold or predetermined value. For example, the gain can decrease by half each time the code enters a lower range.
