A voltage supply circuit having variable drive strength can optionally be
used to provide improved phase margin in an integrated circuit. A bandgap
circuit drives an operational amplifier, with the second input of the
operational amplifier being a regulated voltage node. The operational
amplifier drives multiple pull-ups in a pull-up network coupled to the
regulated voltage node, of which the different pull-ups can be separately
enabled to control the effective channel width of the pull-up network. In
some embodiments, a control circuit (e.g., one or two additional
operational amplifiers driving a counter) accepts the output of the
operational amplifier as an input signal and provides multiple enable
signals to the pull-up network.
