Abstract
A circuit and method for an integrated multifunction voltage regulator is disclosed. The integrated circuit features a voltage preregulator having a battery input and a Vcc output, a voltage bus for distributing the Vcc voltage, and a plurality of function blocks which are connected to the Vcc buss and are driven by the Vcc voltage. The function blocks include voltage regulators, protected battery switches, band gap voltage references, and reset circuits.
