Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A device, comprising:
a voltage regulator circuit coupled to an output terminal;
a plurality of first transistors coupled between the output terminal and a voltage terminal providing a supply voltage,
wherein when the plurality of first transistors are turned off, the voltage regulator circuit is configured to generate an output signal, having a voltage of half of the supply voltage, to the output terminal at a first time; and
a control circuit configured to pull down gate voltages of the plurality of first transistors from the supply voltage to a voltage level between the supply voltage and a ground voltage at a second time after the first time;
wherein the plurality of first transistors are configured to pull up the voltage at the output terminal to the supply voltage at a third time after the second time.
