Abstract
The disclosed apparatus may include (1) a first transistor whose (A) first terminal is electrically coupled to an enable node, (B) second terminal is electrically coupled to a feedback node, and (C) third terminal is electrically coupled to a ground node, (2) a second transistor whose (A) first terminal is electrically coupled to the feedback node, (B) second terminal is electrically coupled to the enable node, and (C) third terminal is electrically coupled to the ground node, (3) a resistor that is electrically coupled between the feedback node and the ground node, and (4) a diode that is electrically coupled between the feedback node and another resistor, wherein the other resistor is electrically coupled between the diode and an output-voltage node that provides electrical power to a computing device. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
