Patent abstract
A voltage regulator output stage can include a power device whose body to source junction is forward biased using a MOSFET trigger. The forward biasing can advantageously reduce the threshold voltage of the power device, thereby effectively increasing its gate drive as well as its output current capability. Controlling the forward biasing using the MOSFET trigger provides minimal leakage, thereby ensuring that the output stage is commercially viable as well as performance enhanced.
