In one embodiment, a leadframe for a semiconductor package includes a source connection area for one transistor and a drain connection point for a second transistor, and a common connection for using a connection clip to couple a drain of the first transistor to a source of the second transistor and to the common connection.

Method of forming a semiconductor device and leadframe therefor

In one embodiment, a voltage regulator uses a first current to charge a by-pass capacitor for a first time period and uses a second current after the first time period.

Method of forming a voltage regulator and structure therefor

In one embodiment, a linear regulator is formed with a variable miller compensation circuit that varies a zero of the linear regulator proportionally to a load current supplied by the regulator.

Linear regulator and method therefor

In one embodiment, a programmable voltage regulator stores data representing a programmable configuration of the regulator. The regulator is configured to verify the validity of the stored data before using it to control the operation of the programmable voltage regulator.
