Abstract
A dual-input voltage regulating circuit includes a first input terminal a second input terminal, and an output terminal. The first input terminal receives a first input voltage. The second input terminal receives a second input voltage. The first input voltage is higher than the second input voltage. The output terminal provides a regulated output voltage. The dual-input voltage regulating circuit draws power from at least one of the first input voltage and the second input voltage. When the regulated output voltage is maintained at a first voltage value, the dual-input voltage regulating circuit draws power from both the first input voltage and the second input voltage. When the regulated output voltage is maintained at a second voltage value that is higher than the first voltage value, the dual-input voltage regulating circuit draws power from the second input voltage and does not draw power from the first input voltage.
