Abstract
A voltage regulator in a battery powered device, such as an implantable cardiac defibrillator, provides regulated output voltage for other circuits. When large currents are drawn from the battery, such as during charging of defibrillation output capacitors, switches decouple the regulator from receiving power from the battery and couple the regulator to receive power from a stable boost output voltage generated by a boost converter. The regulator provides a stable regulated output voltage less noisy than the boost output voltage. Controlled switch conductances in the regulator provide operation over a wide range of output load currents.
