Abstract
The voltage regulator includes a regulator circuit, connected between a high potential and a low potential, regulating an output voltage based on an input voltage. The regulator circuit includes a changing circuit which changes at least one of a voltage range of the output voltage and a rate at which the output voltage changes with respect to changes in the input voltage. The changing circuit selectively increases a maximum value of the voltage range of the output voltage, and also selectively increases the rate at which the output voltage changes with respect to changes in the input voltage.
