Abstract
A voltage regulator especially adaptable for use with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA). The voltage regulator is configurable as a true voltage regulator or, alternatively, as a pseudo-voltage regulator. The voltage regulator includes circuitry to rapidly generate an operating voltage for the core or nucleus logic elements. Additional circuitry is provided to reduce the steady-state power consumption once the operating voltage is reached. To compensate for die-to-die variations, additional circuitry is also provided to adjust the compensation delays or switching rates.
