  • Patent number: 4881023
    Abstract: A linear regulator employing a field effect transistor (FET) pass element to supply a pulsed load is programmed by a cooperating switching regulator such that an increased voltage differential is maintained across the FET to reduce response time during the leading edge of the load pulse and to thereafter reduce the voltage differential to achieve reduced power consumption and increased efficiency during the remainder of the load pulse.
