METHOD OF OPERATING A VOLTAGE REGULATOR |
| 摘要 |
A method of operating a first voltage regulator includes electrically coupling a transistor of an output stage of the first voltage regulator between a first power voltage and a second power voltage, and reverse biasing a bulk of the transistor by a back-bias circuit during a standby mode of a memory array. The first voltage regulator is coupled to a second voltage regulator and reverse biasing the bulk of the transistor reduces a contention current between the first voltage regulator and the second voltage regulator. |

1. A method of operating a first voltage regulator, the method comprising:
electrically coupling a transistor of an output stage of the first voltage regulator between a first power voltage and a second power voltage; and reverse biasing a bulk of the transistor by a back-bias circuit during a standby mode of a memory array, wherein the first voltage regulator is coupled to a second voltage regulator and reverse biasing the bulk of the transistor reduces a contention current between the first voltage regulator and the second voltage regulator. |
