Abstract
In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes: a voltage regulator to receive a first voltage and regulate the first voltage to output a regulated voltage; a first logic circuit to operate using the regulated voltage; and a regulator control circuit to receive a control signal during a boot of the integrated circuit via a general purpose pad of the integrated circuit and control the voltage regulator to operate in one of an enabled mode and a bypass mode based at least in part on the control signal.
