Abstract
In described examples, a low dropout voltage regulator includes an input voltage terminal, a resistive element, first and second transistors, an output terminal, a differential amplifier, and first and second saturation prevention circuits. The resistive element is coupled between the input voltage terminal and a gate of the first transistor. The output terminal is coupled to the drain of the first transistor and the source of the second transistor. A first input of the differential amplifier receives a reference voltage, and a second input is coupled to the output terminal. The first saturation prevention circuit provides a first clamp current to the differential amplifier output if the gate-source voltage of the first transistor is less than a first threshold voltage. The second saturation prevention circuit provides a second clamp current to the differential amplifier output if the gate-source voltage of the second transistor is greater than a second threshold voltage.
