Abstract
A linear regulator and methods of regulation are provided. In one implementation, a linear regulator is provided that includes a mode selection circuit operable to determine whether a power source voltage received by the linear regulator exceeds a pre-defined operational range of a load in communication with the linear regulator, and a power switch to directly supply the power source voltage to the load if the power source voltage is within the pre-defined operational range.
