Abstract
A Dual Input, Single Output Low Dropout Regulator (LDO) includes two linear regulator circuits and control circuitry that produce an overlap period during change-over between a regulated supply voltage and an unregulated supply voltage wherein both supply voltages are coupled to the LDO output pin. The unregulated supply voltage is supplied, e.g., by a battery, and the regulated supply voltage is supplied from a switching-type DC-DC converter. First and second output devices are connected between the LDO output terminal and the unregulated and regulated supply voltages, respectively. The first regulator circuit causes the first output device to supply the desired regulated output voltage while the switching regulator ramps up. The regulator circuits then turn on the second output device and gradually turn off the output device, whereby the regulated output voltage transitions from the unregulated supply voltage to the regulated supply voltage is achieved without severe voltage transients.
