Abstract:
A method and apparatus for buffering a signal in a voltage island that is in standby or sleep mode. The apparatus uses a buffer(s) that are powered from a global power supply voltage that is always powered, and such buffer(s) are placed within the sleeping island itself. The sleeping island can be at the same or different voltage from the global voltage.
