Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a primary voltage rail, a secondary voltage rail, a plurality of transistors coupled between the primary and secondary voltage rails, and control logic operable to enable a first subset of the plurality of transistors to couple the primary voltage rail to the secondary voltage rail. During a steady state condition, the first subset comprises less than all of the plurality of transistors.
