  • Publication number: 20180275703
    Abstract: A fault tolerant voltage regulator may include a plurality of operational transconductance amplifiers. The plurality of operational transconductance amplifiers may be configured according to a unity-gain configuration. The plurality of operational transconductance amplifiers may be configured to couple in parallel to a load. The plurality of operational transconductance amplifiers may be configured to load share a load current associated with the load approximately equally among the plurality of operational transconductance amplifiers.

  • Patent number: 10062448
    Abstract: A circuit includes a fuse cell with a current mirror. The first leg of the current minor includes first and second N-type transistors coupled in series between the upper and lower rails and the second leg includes third and fourth N-type transistors coupled in series between the upper and lower rails. The size of the first N-type transistor is (Y·A1), the second N-type transistor is (X·A2), the third N-type transistor is (X·A1) and the fourth N-type transistor is (Y·A2) where X and Y are integers and A1 and A2 are the sizes of respective reference transistors. A fuse has a first terminal coupled between the first and second N-type transistors and a second terminal coupled between the third and fourth N-type transistors; a first control node on the second leg of the current minor is coupled to control the voltage at an output node of the fuse cell.
