  • Patent number: 10444778
    Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit that regulates voltage on an output node that provides power to a load circuit having varying current draw. A feedback voltage from the output node is compared to reference voltages. In response to the comparisons, pull-up/down circuits are applied to a gate-control node connected to the gate of a pass transistor. The voltage of the gate-control node is adjusted by integrating current from the pull-up/down circuits. In response to the feedback voltage being between the first and second reference voltages, the voltage on the gate-control node is maintained by disabling the pull-up/down circuits at the gate-control node.

  • Patent number: 10122270
    Abstract: A voltage regulator has an output driver current mirror circuit and one or more control circuits. The output driver current mirror circuit includes an output driver transistor, a tunable resistance circuit, and a diode-connected transistor. The output driver transistor has one current electrode coupled to a supply voltage and another current electrode coupled to an output terminal for providing the output voltage of the voltage regulator. The tunable resistance circuit has one terminal coupled to a control electrode of the output driver transistor, and another terminal coupled to a current electrode of the diode-connected transistor. The one or more control circuits includes a comparator for controlling a current provided to the output driver current mirror in response to a feedback signal from the output terminal.
