A system may regulate voltage supplied from a power source to an integrated circuit and/or an inertial device. A minimal voltage may be maintained in the integrated circuit by temporarily cutting off current to the inertial device to supply surges of voltage to the controller. Optionally voltage may be smoothed between said surges for example by adding capacitance and/or a current restrictor.

1. A method for increasing a voltage potential available to a controller sharing a power source with a motor, the method comprising: producing transient high voltage surges in the output of the power source by repeatedly having a motor driver connected in series between the power source and the motor cut off power to the motor during predetermined spaced apart time periods, the motor driver being controlled by the controller;storing, in an energy reservoir connected between the controller and the power source, energy during said surges;releasing, by the energy reservoir, said stored energy to the controller while the motor is receiving power from the power source when a voltage output of said power source falls below a threshold voltage;testing, by a voltage sensor, a voltage input to the controller;receiving, by the controller, a result of the testing from the voltage sensor; andadjusting, by the controller, the cutting off of power by the motor driver to the motor based on the result of the testing in order to maintain the input voltage to the controller at or above the threshold voltage. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the controller is comprised of at least one of an integrated circuit, a CPU, and a processor. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the power source is comprised of at least one battery. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the energy reservoir includes at least one of a diode or a transistor, the method further comprising: preventing, by the diode or the transistor, leakage of said released energy away from the controller. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said repeatedly cutting off of power to the motor has a period of between 5 and 50 milli-seconds. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said repeatedly cutting off of power to the motor has a duty cycle of between 50% and 95%. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: pumping a medicine with said motor; andcontrolling a rate of said pumping with the controller. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said controlling is adjusted for maintaining said threshold voltage to the controller accounting for an output limitation of the power source and a limit of said storage. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein said controlling is by pulse density modulation. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said pulse density modulation has a pulse width of between 50 and 500 milli-seconds. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein said pulse density modulation has a duty cycle of between 2% and 20%. 12. A system for distributing power among a plurality components of a portable device, the system comprising: a power source;a motor;a controller connected to the power source; anda motor driver connected in series between the power source and the motor, the motor driver being controlled by the controller and being configured to: supply to said motor, higher current pulses of power from said power source having sufficient energy to power said motor, andat least partially cut off power to said motor between said pulses to produce voltage surges having sufficient energy to power said controller at a higher voltage potential than the potential of said higher current pulses; anda voltage sensor configured to measure an input voltage to the controller, the controller being configured to receive output from the voltage sensor and to adjust the motor driver in response to the output of the voltage sensor to maintain the input voltage to the controller to be greater than a threshold value,wherein power is supplied by the power source to the controller during and between the pulses. 13. The system of claim 12, further comprising: an energy storage device connected between the power source and the controller, said energy storage device configured to store energy at a high voltage during said voltage surges, andrelease said stored energy to the controller between said voltage surges. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein said motor has an inertia to keep operating during an inertial period and wherein said motor driver is configured to keep a length of a cut off period of power to the motor between said high current pulses less than a length of said inertial period. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein said adjusting includes at least one action selected from the group consisting of: lengthening a period of said cutting off of the power to the motor in response to a low value of said voltage input measurement, shortening a period between said cut off periods in response to a low value of said voltage input measurement, reducing a duty cycle of said motor in response to a low value of said voltage input measurement, lengthening a period of said cutting off of the power to the motor in response to a low value of said voltage output measurement, shortening a period between said cut off periods in response to a low value of said voltage output measurement, and reducing a duty cycle of said motor in response to a low value of said voltage output measurement.
