Circuit and Method for Stepping Down a Voltage - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18337587 titled 'Circuit and Method for Stepping Down a Voltage
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for voltage stepdown in a circuit.
- The circuit includes a first voltage stepdown module and a second voltage stepdown module.
- The first voltage stepdown module takes a supply voltage and a first reference voltage as inputs and produces an intermediate stepped down voltage as an output.
- The intermediate stepped down voltage is then fed back into the first voltage stepdown module.
- The second voltage stepdown module includes a low-dropout voltage regulator.
- The second voltage stepdown module takes the intermediate stepped down voltage and a second reference voltage as inputs and produces a target voltage as an output.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods as described herein may take a variety of forms. In an example, a circuit includes a first voltage stepdown module and a second voltage stepdown module. The first voltage stepdown module has a supply voltage and a first reference voltage as inputs, and an intermediate stepped down voltage as an output, the intermediate stepped down voltage being electrically coupled to a feedback input of the first voltage stepdown module. The second voltage stepdown module includes a low-dropout voltage regulator having the intermediate stepped down voltage and a second reference voltage as inputs and a target voltage as an output.
