Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for adaptive switch driving. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a switching circuit configured to selectively be in a first state that provides an input voltage as an output voltage, be in a second state that provides a ground voltage as the output voltage, or be in a third state that causes the output voltage to change from the input voltage to the ground voltage according to a slew rate. The third state enables the switching circuit to transition from the first state to the second state. The switching circuit is also configured to adjust the slew rate of the output voltage for the third state responsive to at least one of the following: a change in a magnitude of a direct-current supply voltage or a change in a magnitude of an input current.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is disclosed for current-controlled voltage regulation. In an example aspect, the integrated circuit includes a voltage regulator and a current-controlled clamp. The voltage regulator has a regulator output node and produces a regulator current. The voltage regulator includes an error amplifier and an output transistor. The error amplifier has first and second input nodes and an error amplifier output node, with the first input node coupled to a reference voltage. The error amplifier generates an error amplifier output voltage at the output node. The output transistor is coupled between the error amplifier output node and the regulator output node. The output transistor is coupled to the second input node via the regulator output node to establish a feedback path for the voltage regulator. The current-controlled clamp is coupled to the error amplifier output node and clamps the error amplifier output voltage based on the regulator current.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a low-dropout regulator comprises a pass transistor having a first terminal to receive an input voltage, a second terminal to provide an output voltage, and a gate terminal. A feedback circuit is coupled between the second terminal of the pass transistor and ground to generate a feedback voltage in response to the output voltage. A comparator has an output to generate a control voltage in response to the feedback voltage and a reference voltage. A switch is coupled between the output of the charge pump and the gate terminal of the pass transistor to selectively provide the control voltage to the gate terminal.
