Abstract
A high-voltage tolerant output driver for use in a switching regulator is provided herein. The driver allows the switching regulator to regulate supply voltages that exceed device breakdown limits for the process technology from which the high-voltage tolerant output driver is fabricated. Unregulated supply voltages can vary over a wide range. The regulator only needs two intermediate voltages.
