A voltage regulator, an active circuit, and a passive circuit is used. The active circuit is used to supply a reference signal as an input to the voltage regulator during a higher power mode. The passive circuit is used to supply a second reference signal as the input to the voltage regulator during a lower power mode, wherein the lower power mode consumes less power than the higher power mode.
