Abstract:
An electronic circuit includes parallel linear regulator circuits that support a range of different load currents. The electronic circuit includes a first linear regulator circuit coupled to an output node, a second linear regulator circuit coupled in parallel with the first linear regulator circuit and the output node, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to monitor the output node and to suppress or inhibit the second linear regulator circuit from supplying the output node when a representation of load power consumption is below a specified threshold. The first linear regulator circuit is configured to continue to supply a portion of the load power when the representation of load power consumption is above the specified threshold, and the control circuit may disable the second linear regulator circuit when the representation of load power consumption is below the specified threshold.

Claim (Index 18):
An electronic circuit comprising parallel circuits supporting a range of different load currents, the electronic circuit comprising:\n a first circuit comprising first linear regulator means for regulating an input voltage to provide a specified output voltage at an output node, the first linear regulator means having a first bias current; a second circuit comprising second linear regulator means coupled in parallel with the first circuit for regulating the input voltage to provide the specified output voltage at the output node, the second linear regulator means having a second bias current that is significantly greater in magnitude than the first bias current; and control means for monitoring power consumption at the output node, and when the power consumption is below a specified threshold, for controlling the first linear regulator means to provide at least a majority of load current at the output node, and when the power consumption at the output node exceeds the specified threshold, enabling the second linear regulator means and allocating respective portions of the load current at the output node between the first and second linear regulator means.
