Claim 18:
19. A method for dampening overshoot in a voltage regulator, the method comprising:
supplying an input voltage to a voltage regulator input and enabling a voltage regulator output;
generating a reference voltage at a reference voltage output;
regulating an output voltage at the voltage regulator output by comparing the reference voltage to a feedback voltage proportional to the output voltage;
comparing a first offset voltage to a difference between the input voltage and the output voltage, and comparing a second offset voltage to a difference between the input voltage and the reference voltage; and
disabling the voltage regulator output responsive to either the first offset voltage being greater than the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage, or the second offset voltage being greater than the difference between the input voltage and the reference voltage.
