Abstract

See full text

In response to a first reference voltage, a regulator regulates an output voltage of a line, so that the output voltage is approximately equal to a target voltage. In response to the output voltage rising above a second reference voltage, pull down circuitry draws current from the line. In response to the output voltage falling below the second reference voltage by at least a predetermined amount, the pull down circuitry ceases to draw current from the line. The first and second reference voltages are based upon a same band gap reference as one another.
