Claim:
1. A load transient suppression circuit to couple to a battery voltage terminal providing power to an electronic device, the load transient suppression circuit comprising: an operational amplifier to receive a bias current via a bias input during a transient load condition and to provide an output current during the transient load condition; a bias capacitor, coupled to the bias input of the operational amplifier, to discharge during the transient load condition to supply the bias current; an output capacitor, coupled between an output of the operational amplifier and the battery voltage terminal, to provide a discharge current to the electronic device during the transient load condition to prevent the battery voltage terminal from dropping below a threshold voltage; and an operational amplifier input circuit to provide a first voltage to a positive input terminal of the operational amplifier and to provide a second voltage to a negative input terminal of the operational amplifier, the second voltage being greater than the first voltage during a nominal load condition and the second voltage dropping below the first voltage in response to the transient load condition to cause the operational amplifier to provide the output current during the transient load condition.
