Abstract: A power manager circuit is provided. The power manager circuit includes a bandgap reference circuit, first and second monitoring circuits, and a reference buffer. The bandgap reference circuit generates a first voltage, based on an external voltage that is external to the power manager circuit. The first monitoring circuit determines a logical value of a first alarm signal, based on whether a first voltage level of the first voltage is within a first range. The reference buffer generates a second voltage, based on the first voltage. The second monitoring circuit determines a logical value of a second alarm signal, based on whether a second voltage level of the second voltage is within a second range.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device, which includes an amplifier circuit that receives a feedback voltage and a reference voltage and amplifies a difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage to output an amplified difference voltage, an analog-to-digital converter that converts the amplified difference voltage to a digital code including two or more bits, and low-dropout (LDO) regulators that outputs output voltages based on the digital code. Each of the LDO regulators includes power transistors outputting a corresponding output voltage of the output voltages, drives one of the power transistors in a switching state, and drives each of remaining power transistors in a turned-on state or a turned-off state.
