Abstract
A control circuit used in an integrated circuit device is described. The control circuit comprises a startup timer configured to generate a startup timing signal; a startup circuit configured to generate a startup control signal; and a switching element coupled between the startup circuit and a load; wherein the switching element applies the startup control signal to the load during a startup period associated with the startup timing signal. A method of controlling an operation of an integrated circuit device is also described.
