Abstract: A method includes providing supply voltages to a supply voltage switching circuit that controls routing of the supply voltages to power consuming circuitry associated with the supply voltage switching circuit. The method includes comparing the supply voltages, including using at least one relatively lower precision comparator to compare the supply voltages for a relatively large difference between the supply voltages; and using at least one relatively higher precision comparator to compare the supply voltages for a relatively smaller difference between the supply voltages. The method further includes, based on a result of comparing the supply voltages, selectively coupling the supply voltages to at least one of an isolation well and a power supply rail of the supply voltage switching circuit.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a voltage comparator circuit includes a first comparator circuit to compare a first voltage and a second voltage and a second comparator circuit to compare the first voltage and the second voltage. The voltage comparator circuit may include charge storage circuitry and positive feedback circuitry. Such circuitry may boost current within the first and second comparator circuits to enable the voltage comparator circuit to output a comparison decision within a delay threshold in response to input transitions within a slew rate threshold.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus may include an amplifier circuit including a first input to receive a signal, a second input to receive a feedback signal, and an output. The apparatus may further include a buffer circuit including an input coupled to the output of the amplifier and including an output coupled to an output node. The apparatus may also include a feedback circuit coupled between the output node and the second input of the amplifier circuit. The feedback circuit may include at least one non-linear resistor configured to define a feedback ratio that changes in response to a voltage at the output node.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a slew rate regulation circuit, a plurality of switches and a controller circuit. The controller circuit controls the plurality of switches to decouple a first source supply voltage from a supply rail; control the plurality of switches to couple a second source supply voltage to the supply rail to replace the first source supply voltage with the second source supply voltage; and control the slew rate regulation circuit to regulate a slew rate of a voltage of the supply rail during a time interval in which the first source supply voltage is being replaced with the second source supply voltage.
