Abstract

A circuit includes a regulation control circuit. The regulation control circuit includes an error amplifier to generate a control output signal based on an error signal input and a reference input. The regulation control circuit includes a level shifter to receive a negative voltage supplied to a load and to provide a positive error signal to the error signal input of the error amplifier. A driver circuit receives the control output signal from the error amplifier and generates a drive output signal in response to the control output signal. A regulation output circuit regulates the negative voltage supplied to the load in response to the drive output signal from the driver circuit.
