Abstract
In an embodiment a device includes a supply node configured to receive a supply voltage, an output node configured to provide an output voltage, a plurality of switching stages coupled to the supply node and to the output node, a sensing circuit coupled to the supply node and configured to provide at least one sensing signal based on the supply voltage and a driver circuit coupled to the sensing circuit and to the plurality of switching stages, wherein the driver circuit is configured to provide the drive signal based on at least one sensing signal exceeding or failing to exceed at least one reference voltage level and to selectively bypass a selected number of the plurality of switching stages based on the drive signal thereby varying an output voltage level at the output node.
