Abstract:
The integrated circuit includes a power FET for generating an output voltage, a pilot FET for sensing current through the power driving device and generating a reference voltage, and an amplifier circuit for comparing the reference voltage of the pilot device with the output voltage of the power driving device. The amplifier circuit includes a differential pair of matched bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) having a common base. A first BJT of the differential pair being diode-connected. The amplifier circuit controls the gates of the power FET and the pilot FET.
