Abstract
A voltage regulation circuit includes a switching output terminal, a high-side output transistor, a low-side output transistor, a high-side replica transistor, a low-side replica transistor, and a comparator circuit. The high-side output transistor is configured to drive the switching output terminal. The low-side output transistor is configured to drive the switching output terminal. The high-side replica transistor is coupled to the high-side output transistor. The low-side replica transistor is coupled to the high-side replica transistor and the low-side output transistor. The comparator circuit is coupled to the high-side replica transistor and the low-side replica transistor, and is configured to compare a signal received from both the high-side replica transistor and the low-side replica transistor to a ramp signal.
