Adaptive regulated power supply voltages are applied to programmable logic integrated circuits. Control circuitry in a programmable logic IC generates control signals that are transmitted to an external voltage regulator. The voltage regulator generates one or more power supply voltages in response to the control signals. The values of control signals determine the target values of the supply voltages. The control circuitry can adapt the power supply voltages to compensate for temperature and process variations on the IC. The power supply voltages can be programmed by a manufacturer or by a user to achieve desired target values. The control circuitry can also put a programmable logic IC into a sleep mode by dropping the high supply voltage to a low value to reduce power consumption during periods of low usage.

A load transient compensator and method of operating the load transient compensator for reducing the transient response time to a load capable of operating at either of several consumption levels when the load changes its power consumption level . The load transient compensator has a comparator having an output connected to an input of an upper driver and of a lower driver with the output of each of the driver being connected to a gate of a power transistor. When the load is in sleep mode and is about to start being accessed, the upper driver is turned on to turn on its associated transistor to supply additional current to the load, regulated by the comparison circuit.

This allows a quicker response to the large changes in current required by the load when the load is changing its level of power consumption without greatly increasing the cost of the system containing the load and without compromising the stability of the system.
