A voltage regulator for a radio frequency circuit including a master regulator circuit, a first slave regulator circuit, and a first radio frequency subcircuit. The master regulator circuit is configured to i) receive a reference voltage signal and a feedback signal and ii) output a control voltage signal based on the reference voltage signal and the feedback signal. The first slave regulator circuit is configured to i) receive the control voltage signal and ii) output a first regulated supply voltage signal based on the control voltage signal. The first radio frequency subcircuit is configured to receive the first regulated supply voltage signal. The control voltage signal corresponds to a desired supply voltage for the first radio frequency subcircuit.

A voltage regulator comprises a master regulator circuit that receives a reference signal and that generates a feedback signal and a master bias signal. The master bias signal is based on the reference signal and the feedback signal. N slave regulator circuits receive the master bias signal from the master regulator circuit and output N regulated output signals to N circuits, respectively, where N is an integer greater than one.

A wireless network device having active and inactive modes comprises a clock generating module that generates a first clock signal having a first clock rate. A voltage supply module generates a first voltage level and a second voltage level that is less than the first voltage level. A first digital module receives the first clock rate and the first voltage level during the active mode, receives the second voltage level during the inactive mode and does not receive the first clock signal during the inactive mode. A first analog module communicates with the voltage supply module and has reduced current consumption during the inactive mode.
