  • Patent number: 10126770
    Abstract: A voltage regulator for driving a digital circuit includes an input terminal and an output terminal, a pass device and a first capacitor, and a boost circuit connected to the pass device or to the first capacitor and having a regulator boost input terminal connectable to the boost signal output terminal. The output terminal is connectable to a power terminal of a digital or switching circuit having at least a boost signal output terminal. The boost circuit includes a boost capacitor and a switching arrangement connected to the regulator boost input terminal and connected to the boost capacitor. The switching arrangement is controllable by a boost signal generated by the digital or switching circuit.
