Abstract
In an example, a circuit includes an input stage having a control voltage input, a feedback input, a first control output and a second control output. The feedback input is coupled to a driver output. A first path stage has a first voltage input and a third output. The first voltage input is coupled to the first control output, and the third output is coupled to the driver output. A second path stage has a second voltage input and a fourth output. The second voltage input is coupled to the second control output, and the fourth output is coupled to the driver output. A load transistor has a control input coupled to the driver output. The input stage is configured to provide gm-boosting to the first path stage to turn on the load transistor responsive to an output voltage at a voltage output.
