    Abstract: One example includes a method for measuring a quiescent current in a switching voltage regulator. The method includes generating a mathematical model of a circuit design associated with the switching voltage regulator. The mathematical model includes measurable parameters to describe a switching current of a power switch of the switching voltage regulator. The method also includes fabricating a circuit comprising the switching voltage regulator based on the circuit design. The fabricated circuit includes the power switch and conductive I/O. The method also includes coupling the conductive I/O of the fabricated circuit to a circuit test fixture and providing electrical signals to the conductive I/O via the circuit test fixture. The method also includes measuring the measurable parameters in response to the electrical signals and applying the measurable parameters to the mathematical model to calculate the switching current. The method further includes calculating the quiescent current based on the switching current.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an output transistor device configured to control an output voltage of an output node in response to a control signal and an input voltage. A current sensor is configured to sense an output current supplied from the output node. A feedback converter is configured to convert the sensed output current to a feedback signal that tracks the output voltage of the output node. The feedback converter is further configured to set a clamping threshold. A gate control circuit is configured to generate the control signal in response to the feedback signal. The gate control circuit is configured to clamp the output voltage of the output node via the control signal based on the clamping threshold.
