Abstract: In described examples, a low dropout voltage regulator includes an input voltage terminal, a resistive element, first and second transistors, an output terminal, a differential amplifier, and first and second saturation prevention circuits. The resistive element is coupled between the input voltage terminal and a gate of the first transistor. The output terminal is coupled to the drain of the first transistor and the source of the second transistor. A first input of the differential amplifier receives a reference voltage, and a second input is coupled to the output terminal. The first saturation prevention circuit provides a first clamp current to the differential amplifier output if the gate-source voltage of the first transistor is less than a first threshold voltage. The second saturation prevention circuit provides a second clamp current to the differential amplifier output if the gate-source voltage of the second transistor is greater than a second threshold voltage.

Abstract: A power supply system may include multiple DC-to-DC (direct current) voltage regulators coupled in parallel to a load, and control circuitry to control the parallel-operating regulators. The control circuitry may include a first share control circuit, a second share control circuit, and a voltage regulation circuit. The first and second share control circuits may operate together with the voltage regulation circuit to control, respectively, the parallel-operating regulators to regulate a common output voltage. Additionally, first and second share control circuits may operate together with the voltage regulation circuit to control respective share of the load current by the parallel-operating regulators.

Abstract: In an example, a device includes a controller and a direct current (DC)-to-DC converter coupled to the controller and configured to provide a load current to a load. The device also includes a low-dropout (LDO) regulator coupled to the DC-to-DC converter. The controller includes digital logic, and the digital logic is configured to determine the load current. The digital logic is configured to turn on the LDO regulator if the load current is above a predetermined threshold. The digital logic is also configured to turn off the LDO regulator if the load current is below the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: In described examples, an integrated circuit (IC) includes multiple subcircuits. The subcircuits include a first subcircuit that receives a current and sinks a portion of the current that is responsive to a threshold. In response to the current being greater than the threshold, the first subcircuit provides a difference between the current and the portion to a second subcircuit and asserts a signal corresponding to an ordinality of the first subcircuit. The second subcircuit is configured to repeat the actions with respect to the first subcircuit, with the second subcircuit in place of the first subcircuit and a third subcircuit in place of the second subcircuit, and with the difference in place of the current, in response to the IC comprising the third subcircuit.
