    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for a bias supply circuit to support power supply including a switched-mode voltage converter cascaded with an n-channel-based linear regulator are provided. In an example, a cascaded power supply system can include a switched-mode DC-to-DC power converter, including an input voltage node, a first stage output voltage node, and a bootstrapped floating bias voltage node, and a linear regulator circuit. The linear regulator circuit can include an n-channel field-effect transistor (NFET) pass transistor, including a drain terminal coupled to the first stage output voltage node, a gate terminal, and a source terminal configured to provide a second-stage output voltage, and a gate driver circuit, including a driver output coupled to the gate terminal of the NFET pass transistor, and a high side supply node configured to receive a bias voltage generated from the bootstrapped floating bias voltage node.

    Abstract: In one example, a method for compensating for a temperature effect during operation of a voltage regulator circuit includes applying a load current at an output of the voltage regulator circuit, measuring a first output voltage at the output, measuring a reference current or voltage, increasing the load current, measuring a change in the reference current or voltage corresponding to the increased load current, measuring a second output voltage when the measured change in the reference current exceeds a threshold, and determining a temperature coefficient (TC) value based on the measured second output voltage.

    Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit having an internally compensated effective series resistance includes a control circuit to generate an out current at a regulated output voltage based on a reference voltage. The control circuit includes an amplifier, a resistive element to feedback output voltage to an input of the amplifier, and a compensation circuit to couple the internally compensated effective series resistance into the control circuit. The compensation circuit includes a first current sense device to generate a first sensed current proportional to a current through an N-type pass device, a second current sense device arranged to generate a second sensed current proportional to the current through the N-type pass device, and a bias circuit coupled to sink the first sensed current and the second sensed current to reduce a bias voltage across the resistive element below a threshold voltage.
