CLOSED-LOOP ADAPTIVE VOLTAGE, BODY-BIASING AND FREQUENCY SCALING

摘要

An electronic device includes a digital circuit, a power delivery subsystem configured to provide a supply voltage and a body-biasing voltage to the digital circuit, and a controller a controller coupled to the power delivery subsystem. The controller is configured to determine a process parameter for the electronic device, determine a current temperature parameter for the electronic device, concurrently determine a first coarse-grain level for the supply voltage and a second coarse-grain level for the body-biasing voltage based on the process parameter, the current temperature parameter, and a frequency of a clock signal to be supplied to the digital circuit, and to determine a fine-grain level for the supply voltage.
