Abstract
An apparatus and a method for decreasing the voltage from a source. The apparatus includes a voltage reference source. The voltage reference source is coupled to a first transistor and to a decoupling capacitor. The first transistor is a negative-channel metal oxide (“NMOS”) transistor which has an output voltage equal to a gate source voltage of the NMOS transistor minus an NMOS transistor threshold voltage.
