Abstract:
In one implementation, a device may include a voltage regulator circuit, a data processing circuit, and an error correction circuit, where the error correction circuit may correct errors in data processed by the data processing circuit to obtain error-corrected data and output an error-corrected version of the processed data. Additionally, an error monitor circuit may output an error signal indicative of a level of the errors in the processed data. A control circuit may receive the error signal and control the voltage regulator circuit to adjust, based on the error signal, the supply voltage to the data processing circuit. In some implementations, the control circuit may also base its decision to control the voltage regulator circuit based on available timing margins in the data processing circuit.
