Apparatus for reducing a magnitude of a rate of current change of an integrated circuit

摘要

An apparatus for reducing a magnitude of a rate of current change of an integrated circuit is provided. The method uses a counter stage controlled by a control stage to sequentially disable a plurality of transistors that are used to source current from a power supply. By sequentially disabling the plurality of transistors, a reduction of an amount of current occurs gradually, effectively reducing the magnitude of the rate of current change.
