Abstract

Integrated circuit devices might include a voltage regulator comprising an input and an output, a selectively activated current path connected between the input and output, and a controller configured to cause the integrated circuit device to connect the output to the input through the current path when a voltage level of the input has a first voltage level, maintain the connection of the output and the input through the current path until the voltage level of the input has a second voltage level higher than the first voltage level, isolate the output from the input through the current path after the voltage level of the input has the second voltage level, and regulate a voltage level of the output while the output is isolated from the input through the current path.
