Abstract:
A dual-input, single-output low-dropout voltage regulator circuit includes: a first supply terminal, a second supply terminal and an output terminal, and first and second transistors having current paths coupled respectively between the first and second terminal and the output terminal. First and second drive circuit blocks are coupled respectively to the first and second supply terminals and drive the control terminals of the first and second transistors to provide a regulated voltage at the output terminal from the voltage on the first supply terminal and the second supply terminal. An input circuit block is sensitive to the voltage at the output terminal and is coupled to the first and second drive circuit blocks and configured to activate the second transistor to provide regulated voltage at the output terminal from the second terminal as a result of the voltage at the output terminal becoming lower than a desired value.

Claim (Index 1):
A circuit, comprising:\n a first supply terminal configured to receive a first supply voltage; a second supply terminal configured to receive a second supply voltage; an output terminal; a first transistor having a current path and a control terminal, the current path of the first transistor coupled between the first supply terminal and the output terminal; a second transistor having a current path and a control terminal, the current path of the second transistor coupled between the second supply terminal and the output terminal; a first drive circuit coupled to the first supply terminal, the first drive circuit coupled to the control terminal of the first transistor, and said first drive circuit configured to provide at said output terminal a regulated voltage with a target value from said first supply voltage on said first supply terminal; a second drive circuit coupled to the second supply terminal, the second drive circuit coupled to the control terminal of the second transistor and configured to provide at said output terminal the regulated voltage from said second supply voltage on said second supply terminal; and an input circuit coupled to the first and second drive circuits, the input circuit configured to control the first drive circuit to deactivate the first transistor and to control the second drive circuit to activate the second transistor to provide the regulated voltage at said output terminal (VOUT) from said second supply voltage on the second terminal in response to the regulated voltage at said output terminal being lower than the target value.
