Voltage regulator with current limiter circuitry

A low-dropout regulator comprising:

• a first transistor coupled between an input node and an output node;
• an amplifier configured to control the first transistor based on an output voltage at the output node and a reference voltage;
• current limiter circuitry comprising a second transistor that is configured to limit electrical current through the first transistor;
• and
• logic circuitry configured to:
• configure the second transistor as a diode-connected transistor in a first state;
• and
• connect the second transistor to a current control loop in a second state.

A method comprising:

• configuring, by logic circuitry of a low-dropout regulator in a first state, a current limiting transistor as a diode-connected transistor;
• configuring, by the logic circuitry in a second state, the current limiting transistor to be included in a current control loop without being configured as a diode-connected transistor;
• and
• limiting, by the current limiting transistor in the first state and in the second state, current through a pass transistor coupled between an input node of the low-dropout regulator and an output node of the low-dropout regulator.
