Abstract:
Described are apparatuses and methods for power management. The apparatus may include a power gate including a plurality of current sources. The power gate may be coupled to a load. The apparatus may further include a voltage control circuit, coupled to the power gate, to determine and select one or more current sources of the plurality of current sources to supply to the load. The apparatus may further include a current control circuit, coupled to the voltage control circuit, to control individual current sources of the one or more current sources to output a constant current. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
