    Abstract: A voltage regulator control implementation dynamically detects and sets specified headroom for a low dropout (LDO) regulator at different loads to enable the LDO regulator to maintain high performance in conjunction with improved power efficiency. In one instance, an upstream voltage regulator may adaptively adjust an output voltage supplied to an input supply rail of a downstream LDO regulator based on an indication from the LDO regulator. The adaptively adjusted input voltage enables the downstream LDO regulator to achieve high performance and improved power efficiency across the entire range of load conditions.

    Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for an integrated circuit (IC) package to automatically detect, through an input/out pin, external component parameters and parasitics. An example IC package generally includes a pin for coupling to a component external to the IC package, and at least one of a resistance detector, an inductance detector, or a capacitance detector coupled to the pin, and configured to detect at least one of a resistance, an inductance, or a capacitance, respectively, of a lumped parameter model for the component external to the IC package. The resistance detector, inductance detector, or capacitance detector may also be configured to detect parasitics associated with at least one of the component, the pin, or a connection between the component and the pin.

    Abstract: A power supply circuit and techniques for voltage regulation are described. Certain aspects provide a method of supplying power by a power supply circuit. The method generally includes: generating an output voltage based on a voltage at a Vin node via a first transistor having a gate coupled to a gate of a second transistor, wherein a source of the second transistor is coupled to the Vin node and wherein a drain of the second transistor is coupled a drain of a third transistor; and sourcing a current to the third transistor, wherein during a light load condition of the power supply circuit, the current varies based on the voltage at a Vout node of the power supply circuit, and during a heavy load condition of the power supply circuit, the current is limited based on a current threshold.
