Abstract

A voltage regulation loop includes a voltage reference generation block that includes a bandgap voltage reference circuit; a linear voltage regulator block that includes a first and second linear voltage regulators, wherein the first linear voltage regulator provides a first regulated power supply to the bandgap voltage reference circuit in the voltage reference generation block, and the second linear voltage regulator provides a second regulated power supply to a load; and a soft startup circuit connected between the voltage reference generation block and the linear voltage regulator block, wherein a selector functions with a control block to output a selected voltage reference to pass to the soft startup circuit, wherein the soft startup circuit smooths the selected voltage reference and produces a smoothed voltage reference to pass to the linear voltage regulator block to prevent overshoots at startup.
