Abstract
A voltage regulator includes an input terminal for receiving a power input having a first voltage level, and an output terminal for generating a power output. A reference signal having a second voltage level is derived from the first voltage level adjusted with a predetermined offset value for controlling the power output to be at a third voltage level proportional to the second voltage level.
