Abstract
A power supply that includes positive and negative floating power supply rails. Laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductors (LDMOS) regulate the output voltage of the positive and negative floating power supply rails. In particular, an LDMOS can be configured as a common gate amplifier at the output of the power supply to sense the output of the positive and negative floating power supply rails.
