Patent ID: 8610417

Claim:
A system comprising: a converter configured to supply power to a load circuit during an active mode to power a plurality of devices in the load circuit, wherein the plurality of devices comprise a first device and a second device, and wherein the converter is OFF during an inactive mode; and a regulator configured to (i) supply power to the load circuit during the inactive mode to operate the first device in an active state, and (ii) regulate a power supply voltage of the power, supplied to the load circuit during the inactive mode, to a predetermined voltage, wherein the power supplied to the load circuit during the inactive mode is less than an amount of power to operate (i) the first device in the active state, and (ii) the second device in an active state, wherein the regulator is configured to, during the inactive mode, increase the power supply voltage to a voltage greater than the predetermined voltage to prevent the power supply voltage from decreasing to a voltage less than the predetermined voltage due to an increased amount of load as a result of turning ON the second device.
