Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure discloses a low drop-out voltage regulator and an electronic device comprising the same. The present disclosure also discloses a method for converting a power supply voltage to a regulated output voltage. The low drop-out voltage regulator comprises a pass device controllable to convert a power supply voltage to a regulated output voltage; and a controller configured to receive an input signal and to provide a driving signal to the control terminal of the pass device based on the input signal, wherein when the input signal is within a predetermined range, the driving signal turns the pass device ON, and the power supply voltage charges the output voltage; and wherein when the input signal is without the predetermined range, the driving signal turns the pass device OFF, and the power supply voltage stops charging the output voltage.
