Abstract
The embodiments described herein relate to an improved circuit technique for a multiple input regulator circuit having multiple power paths therein. The multiple input regulator circuit may be configured to minimize integrated circuit area by utilizing a single power transistor in the power path from each of the power sources to the output of the regulator circuit. The single power transistor is adapted to provide both power source selection and power source regulation functions, thus replacing the power selection transistor and the power regulation transistor of conventional designs.
