Abstract:
The subject disclosure includes paralleling of monolithic embedded low drop-out (LDO) linear regulator power rails to provide additional load current, while maintaining accurate current sharing and balancing between the paralleled LDOs without additional power consumption for different load current requirements. Lossless current sensing is used to sense the current for each channel. An offset generator compares the voltages for a master channel and one or more slave channels, and generates an offset voltage according to the sensed error. The offset voltage is added between an input reference voltage and an output regulated voltage to cancel the offset of each channel, so the current of each channel is substantially the same. The lossless current sensing can be realized with equivalent series resistance compensation or current limit sensing. The offset generator can be realized with a resistor and current mirror topology or an input pair added to an error amplifier input.

Claim (Index 18):
The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the positive polarity of the differential error signal is fed into a non-inverting input of a first transconductance element of the differential difference amplifier and a negative polarity of the differential error signal is fed into an inverting input of the first transconductance element of the differential difference amplifier.
