          Appeal No. 2001-2662                                                        
          Application No. 09/124,962                                                  


          the claim essentially requires that one of the internal power               
          supply voltages is in turn a reference voltage for producing the            
          other internal power supply voltage as argued by appellant in the           
          brief and reply brief.  The overall circuit shown in figure                 
          5 does not meet this limitation since a common reference voltage            
          VREF feeds in parallel both the top and bottom subcircuit                   
          elements in figure 5.
