A self-adjusting regulator includes a power stage adjusting an output voltage and a control loop for controlling the power stage. The control loop includes a compensator adjusting a bandwidth in response to at least one compensator control signal, and an oscillator controlling a switching speed in response to at least one oscillator control signal. The self-adjusting regulator further includes a voltage sensing control circuit controlling the control loop. The voltage sensing control circuit generating the at least one compensator control signal and the at least one oscillator control signal based on a comparison of the output voltage and a reference voltage. In a low speed mode, the compensator outputs a first bandwidth, and the oscillator outputs a first switching speed. In a high speed mode, the compensator outputs a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth, and the oscillator outputs a second switching speed faster than the first switching speed.
