Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for regulators providing shared current from multiple input supplies. A regulator can include a first portion configured to receive a first supply voltage and to output a first current drawn from the first supply voltage by a load, and a second portion configured to receive a second supply voltage. The regulator can include a current control circuit configured to, responsive to a load current corresponding the load meeting a particular criteria, initiate current sharing such that the load current is subsequently shared between the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage.
