System for transitioning a processor from a higher to a lower activity state by switching in and out of an impedance on the voltage regulator

摘要

A voltage regulator may switch in an extra load when the voltage regulator changes from a higher to a lower output level in response to a processor change of state in a processor-based system. The additional load at the lower voltage level in the processor-based system may decrease the latency in the voltage level transistor, improving processor performance.
