Abstract
A linear voltage regulator includes a converter circuit that provides a serial bitstream having a pulse density that is indicative of a difference between a regulated voltage of the linear voltage regulator and a reference voltage. The linear voltage regulator also includes a digital to analog converter circuit that includes an input to receive the serial bitstream. The digital to analog converter circuit includes an averager circuit that produces an output signal to control a voltage of a control terminal of a power transistor of the linear voltage regulator for regulating the regulated voltage based on the pulse density of the serial bitstream.
