Abstract:
An apparatus includes an output transistor device configured to control an output voltage of an output node in response to a control signal and an input voltage. A current sensor is configured to sense an output current supplied from the output node. A feedback converter is configured to convert the sensed output current to a feedback signal that tracks the output voltage of the output node. The feedback converter is further configured to set a clamping threshold. A gate control circuit is configured to generate the control signal in response to the feedback signal. The gate control circuit is configured to clamp the output voltage of the output node via the control signal based on the clamping threshold.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the feedback converter includes a mirror transistor and a controlled current source, the controlled current source is configured to receive the sensed output current and configured to scale the sensed output current to a scaled current that is provided to the mirror transistor, the mirror transistor is configured to generate a tracking voltage that replicates the output voltage in response to the scaled current and based on the control signal.
