    摘要: A voltage regulator is embedded in a circuit intermediate a first node (coupled to a battery) and a second node (supplying power to an external memory). The voltage regulator is activatable in a first mode of operation for startup during which an voltage is applied to the second node that increases towards a supply threshold. In response to the voltage at the second node reaching the supply threshold, the voltage regulator transitions to a second mode of operation where a programmable regulated voltage (higher than the supply threshold) is applied to the second node. In response to receipt of a low-power operation request, a first high-drive regulator circuitry is deactivated and a second low-power regulator circuitry is activated to provide a third mode of operation at low power.

    摘要: A common-mode feedback circuit includes a transconductor input stage with differential input terminals, and a frequency-compensated gain stage coupled to the transconductor input stage with differential output terminals. The common-mode feedback circuit also includes a feedback loop having a comparator configured to produce a feedback error signal for the transconductor input stage by comparing with a reference a common-mode sensing signal indicative of a common-mode voltage level sensed at the differential output terminals. In addition, the common-mode feedback loop includes a converter for converting the common-mode voltage level sensed at said differential output terminals into a current signal coupled to the comparator.
