Abstract:
An electronic device including a low dropout regulator having an output coupled to a first conduction terminal of a transistor, with a second conduction terminal of the transistor being coupled to an output node of the electronic device. A method for operating the device to switch into a power on mode includes: turning on the low dropout regulator, removing a DC bias from the second conduction terminal of the transistor, and turning on the transistor. A method for operating the device to switch into a power down mode includes: turning off the transistor, forming the DC bias at the second conduction terminal of the transistor, and turning off the low dropout regulator.

Claim (Index 8):
An electronic device, comprising:\n an intermediate node; a resistive divider directly electrically connected between the intermediate node and a divider control node; a low dropout amplifier comprising:\n an amplifier having an inverting terminal coupled to receive a reference voltage, a non-inverting terminal directly electrically connected to a tap node of the resistive divider, and an output; and \n a ballast transistor having a first conduction terminal coupled to a supply node, a second conduction terminal coupled to the intermediate node, and a control terminal coupled to the output of the amplifier; \n a transistor having a first conduction terminal coupled to the intermediate node, a second conduction terminal coupled to an output node, and a control terminal; a first impedance coupled to the output node; a second impedance coupled to the output node; a first switch coupled between the first impedance and the supply node; a second switch coupled between the second impedance and ground; a third switch coupled between the intermediate node and the supply node; a fourth switch coupled between the output of the amplifier and the supply node; a fifth switch comprising a three position switch for selectively coupling the control terminal of the transistor to the supply node or to ground; and a sixth switch coupled between the divider control node and ground.
