Abstract
Methods and apparatus for power supply load dump compensation according to various aspects of the present invention may operate in conjunction with a power stage system, such as a power stage system comprising a bootstrapped driver circuit and a power stage responsive to the driver circuit. The power stage system may further include a load dump compensation circuit connected to the driver circuit, wherein the load dump compensation circuit is configured to remove a bias current generated by the bootstrapped driver circuit. Various aspects of the present invention may be implemented in conjunction with any appropriate power supply, such as a switching regulator, for example a buck converter.
