Abstract

Described embodiments include a circuit with a first amplifier having first and second amplifier inputs and a first amplifier output. The first amplifier input is coupled to a reference voltage terminal. The second amplifier input is coupled to a voltage feedback terminal. A second amplifier has third and fourth amplifier inputs and second and third amplifier outputs. The third amplifier input is coupled to the first amplifier output. A first switch has first and second switch terminals. The second switch terminal is coupled to the fourth amplifier input. A third amplifier has fifth and sixth amplifier inputs and a fourth amplifier output. The fifth amplifier input is coupled to the second amplifier output. The sixth amplifier input is coupled to the third amplifier output. A second switch has a third switch terminal coupled to the fourth amplifier output, and a fourth switch terminal coupled to the first amplifier output.
