Abstract: An example cascode voltage regulator circuit includes a first transistor coupled to an input voltage terminal and configured as a source follower to provide an output voltage at a source terminal, a second transistor coupled in series between the source terminal of the first transistor and an output terminal, the second transistor configured as a current limiter, and a current mirror coupled between respective first and second control terminals of the first and second transistors, the current mirror configured to receive a first current indicative of a source follower current flowing through the first transistor and to turn off the second transistor by coupling the first and second control terminals together responsive to the source follower current exceeding a threshold. In an example, the first transistor is a drain-extended NMOS device and the second transistor is a drain-extended PMOS device.

Abstract: A circuit includes a switched capacitor circuit and a voltage generator circuit. The switched capacitor circuit includes first, second, third, and fourth switches and first and second capacitors. The first capacitor has first and second terminals, the first terminal coupled to the first switch. The second capacitor has first and second terminals, the second terminal coupled to the second switch. The third switch has a terminal coupled to the second terminals of the first and second capacitors. The fourth switch has first and second terminals, the first terminal coupled the terminal of the third switch and to the second terminals of the first and second capacitors. The voltage generator circuit has an output coupled to the second terminal of the fourth switch and is configured to provide a common mode output bias voltage at the second terminal of the fourth switch responsive to a common mode input bias voltage.
