Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. An integrated circuit device, comprising:
a voltage regulator comprising an input and an output;
a selectively activated current path connected between the input of the voltage regulator and the output of the voltage regulator; and
a controller, wherein the controller is configured to cause the integrated circuit device to:
connect the output of the voltage regulator to the input of the voltage regulator through the current path in response to a voltage level of the input of the voltage regulator having a first voltage level;
maintain the connection of the output of the voltage regulator to the input of the voltage regulator through the current path until the voltage level of the input of the voltage regulator has a second voltage level higher than the first voltage level;
isolate the output of the voltage regulator from the input of the voltage regulator through the current path after the voltage level of the input of the voltage regulator has the second voltage level; and
regulate a voltage level of the output of the voltage regulator while the output of the voltage regulator is isolated from the input of the voltage regulator through the current path.
