ABSTRACT:
Power supply regulation. A power supply regulation system includes a transistor through which power is carried. The system also includes a switch connected to a gate of the transistor. Further, the system includes a transmission gate responsive to an input signal to apply a first signal level causing the transistor to enter an ON state in which the transistor carries full power, to apply a second signal level causing the transistor to enter an OFF state in which the transistor carries no power and to apply a third signal level causing the transistor to enter an INTERMEDIATE state in which the amount of power the transistor carries is controlled by the switch.
