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

Claim 14:
15. The structure of claim 11,
wherein the first logic value of the select signal is 1 and the second logic value of the select signal is 0, and
wherein the switching circuit comprises:
a first inverter and a second inverter connect in series, wherein the first inverter receives the select signal from the comparator;
a first switch; and
a second switch,

wherein the second switch receives an inverted select signal from the first inverter and, based on the inverted select signal, either connects the current limiter to the control terminal of the pass transistor or disconnects the current limiter from the control terminal of the pass transistor, and
wherein the first switch receives a twice-inverted select signal from the second inverter and, based on the twice-inverted select signal, either connects the voltage regulator to the control terminal of the pass transistor or disconnects the voltage regulator from the control terminal of the pass transistor.
