ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit comprises a global power supply conductor, a plurality of circuit blocks, a plurality of voltage converters, and control logic. The global power supply conductor is configured to distribute a supply voltage. The circuit blocks are selectively coupled to the global power supply conductor. The plurality of voltage converters are coupled to the global power supply conductor. An output voltage of individual voltage converters of the plurality of voltage converters are selectively coupled to one or more of the plurality of circuit blocks. The control logic is configured to control the selective coupling of at least one of the supply voltage and the output voltage of individual voltage converters of the plurality of voltage converters to corresponding ones of the plurality of circuit blocks. Also, the control logic controls a magnitude of the output voltage of individual voltage converters of the plurality of voltage converters.
