Abstract
An electronic device comprises a voltage regulator supplying a current to a load such as a micro-controller unit. The load controls the current provided to the load from the voltage regulator. Preferably, the load controls the level of current supplied to the load upon start-up, thereby avoiding power surges being drawn by the load.
