Abstract
A regulator circuit includes a regulator output node, at least (N+1) regulator control circuits, and N drivers. N is an integer greater than 1. Each one of the N drivers includes a multiplexer, a driver stage, and a pre-driver stage. The multiplexer includes an input port and an output port, where the input port of the multiplexer is coupled with output nodes of the at least (N+1) regulator control circuits. The driver stage is coupled with the regulator output node. The pre-driver stage is configured to control the driver stage based on a signal on the output port of the multiplexer.
