Abstract
A circuit includes a regulation module having a threshold input to receive a clamp threshold voltage and a feedback input to monitor a swing-limited output voltage. The regulation module generates a difference signal that indicates a difference between the clamp threshold voltage and the swing-limited output voltage. A current compensation module includes a clamp port and an input port. The clamp port to controls the swing-limited output voltage and the input port receives the difference signal. The clamp port generates an adjustment current to control the swing-limited output voltage based on the difference signal. An adjustment network receives an input voltage and the adjustment current from the clamp port. The adjustment current to generate a voltage across the adjustment network such that the swing-limited output voltage at the clamp port is adjusted within a voltage range of the input voltage.
