Abstract
A method and circuit are provided for implementing voltage sense point switching for regulators. A regulator voltage sensing circuit includes at least two sense points enabling a regulator to compensate for voltage drop at the sense points and providing at least one of the sense points at a location to be switched. Switched loads have gains at the sense points to compensate for the voltage drop in a transistor switch at maximum load. A non-switched output is sensed and functions as an over-voltage protection to limit the transistor switch voltage drop.
