Zusammenfassung:A device is disclosed that includes a first pin to supply power to a first power domain of an integrated circuit, a second pin to supply power to a second power domain of the integrated circuit and a controller, comprising a logic and a low drop out regulator. The controller is coupled to the first pin and to the second pin. The logic determines the operating mode and provides at least one control signal. The low drop out regulator is responsive to the logic to selectively reduce current flow to the second pin.
