Patent ID: 11874680
Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. INC.
Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. The structure of claim 7, further comprising:
an input voltage node, wherein the pass transistor further includes an inputer terminal connected to the input voltage node; and
a current limiter including:
a mimic output voltage node;
a mimicking transistor comprising: an input terminal connected to the input voltage node; an output terminal connected to the mimic output voltage node; and a control terminal; and
a feedback amplifier comprising: a non-inverting input connected to the mimic output voltage node; an inverting input that receives a second reference voltage; and an output connected to the control terminal of the mimicking transistor, to the comparator, and to the switching circuit, wherein the feedback amplifier is configured to output the second control voltage based on a difference between a mimic output voltage at the mimic output voltage node and the second reference voltage.
