Abstract:
An automotive system includes a first regulator configured to provide a first output voltage based on a first input voltage level. The system also includes a second regulator configured to provide a second output voltage based on a second input voltage level. The system also includes a driver controller coupled to a first driver circuit and a second driver circuit, wherein the driver controller is configured to select one of the first driver circuit and the second driver circuit to drive a switch based on a control signal. The system also includes a switch node coupled to the switch, wherein a switch node voltage at the switch node is a function of the switch being turned on and off. The system also includes a load coupled to the switch node.
