Abstract
A circuit configured to perform low-dropout regulation of an output voltage includes a first buffer, a second buffer, controller circuitry, and switching circuitry. The first buffer includes a first driving element configured to provide a first current into a first output node based on the output voltage. The first bias circuitry is configured to bias the first current. The second buffer includes a second driving element configured to provide a second current into a second output node based on a voltage at the first output node. The second bias circuitry is configured to bias the second current. The controller circuitry is configured to generate a control signal based on a current at the pass device and switching circuitry configured to electrically couple the first output node to the control node of the pass device based on the control signal.
