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.
