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

Claim 6:
7. A structure comprising:
a pass transistor having a control terminal and an output terminal, wherein the output terminal is connected to an output voltage node;
a comparator adapted to compare a first control voltage to a second control voltage and to output a select signal based on a difference between the first control voltage and the second control voltage, wherein the first control voltage is dependent on an output voltage at the output node and wherein the select signal has a first logic value when the first control voltage is greater than the second control voltage and a second logic value when the first control voltage is less than the second control voltage; and
a switching circuit adapted to apply the first control voltage to the control terminal of the pass transistor when the select signal has the first logic value and to further apply the second control voltage to the control terminal of the pass transistor when the select signal has the second logic value.
