Abstract
A power supply circuit and techniques for voltage regulation are described. Certain aspects provide a method of supplying power by a power supply circuit. The method generally includes: generating an output voltage based on a voltage at a Vin node via a first transistor having a gate coupled to a gate of a second transistor, wherein a source of the second transistor is coupled to the Vin node and wherein a drain of the second transistor is coupled a drain of a third transistor; and sourcing a current to the third transistor, wherein during a light load condition of the power supply circuit, the current varies based on the voltage at a Vout node of the power supply circuit, and during a heavy load condition of the power supply circuit, the current is limited based on a current threshold.
