Techniques for reliably and efficiently generating an output voltage for
use within an electronic device, such as a memory system, are disclosed.
A voltage generation circuit generates the output voltage. The voltage
generation circuit includes regulation circuitry that controls regulation
of the output voltage to maintain the output voltage at a substantially
constant level. According to one aspect, regulation is provided through
use of different feedback circuits. By selectively disabling one of the
feedback circuits, power consumption can be reduced and the other of the
feedback circuits can support the continued regulation of the output
voltage. The voltage generation circuit is therefore able to operate in
an accurate, stable and power efficient manner.
