Unified voltage generation techniques for efficiently generating a
plurality of operational voltages for use within an electronic device,
such as a memory system (e.g., memory product) providing data storage,
are disclosed. A voltage generation circuit can generate a regulated base
output voltage. The voltage generation circuit can include one or more
voltage output circuits that produce different operational voltages from
the regulated base output voltage. According to one aspect of the
invention, the voltage output circuits can be disabled when the different
operational voltages are at their appropriate voltage potentials, thereby
reducing power consumption by the voltage output circuits. The voltage
generation circuit is therefore able to operate with improved power
efficiency.
