Abstract:
A method for voltage regulation includes reducing a power consumption of a voltage regulator during an IDLE phase, by disabling a feedback loop configured to regulate an internal voltage to a multiple of a reference voltage in response to the voltage regulator receiving a digital signal from a digital circuit. The internal voltage is proportional to an external voltage supplied to the digital circuit. A regulated accuracy of the external voltage is increased during a MEASUREMENT phase by enabling the feedback loop in response to the voltage regulator receiving the digital signal from the digital circuit.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising a START-UP phase before entering the IDLE phase, comprising:\n ramping a supply voltage, activating an external Power On Reset (POR) while the supply voltage is less than a start-up threshold, the external POR holding the digital circuit in a reset state, activating a bandgap reference in response to the digital signal, wherein the digital signal is an active-low signal, activating an internal Power On Reset (POR) signal in response to the bandgap reference providing the reference voltage, the internal POR activating before deactivating the external POR, the internal POR holding the digital circuit in the reset state, and deactivating the internal POR in response to the internal voltage exceeding the reference voltage.
