Abstract:
System and method system for regulating voltage in a portion of an integrated circuit. An integrated circuit has a voltage input and at least a portion that is less than all of the integrated circuit, which requires a local voltage level. A voltage selector establishes a target voltage for the portion. A first comparator compares the target voltage to the local voltage and generates a pull up control signal when the local voltage is below the target voltage. A second comparator compares the target voltage to the local voltage and generates a pull down control signal when the local voltage is above the target voltage. A pull up device, responsive to the pull up control signal, increases the local voltage according to the pull up control signal. A pull down device, responsive to the pull down control signal, decreases the local voltage level according to the pull down control signal.
