Patent ID: 7646108

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a die including a first sense node to receive a first sense voltage related to a first output voltage at a first output node of an output circuit, a first supply node on the die to receive the first output voltage, a first die output node on the die to provide a first die output voltage having a first voltage value, and a second die output node on the die to provide a second die output voltage having a second voltage value different from the first voltage value; an output control circuit located on the die to interact with the output circuit and responsive to the first sense voltage to convert a source voltage into the first output voltage at the first output node of the output circuit, the die further including a node to receive a voltage different from the source voltage to provide an initial voltage to the output control circuit; and a converter circuit located on the die to convert the first output voltage at the first supply node into the first die output voltage at the first die output node.
