ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes power gating circuits for coupling an associated circuit block with a power supply voltage. The power gating circuits also generate power consumption measurements for the associated circuit blocks. A power manager for the integrated circuit may manage the overall power consumption of the integrated circuit and may individually turn on and off the circuit blocks using the power gating circuits.
