    Abstract: This invention is an electronic circuit with a low power retention mode. A single integrated circuit includes a circuit module and a droop switch circuit supplied by a voltage regulator. In a normal mode a PMOS source-drain channel connects the voltage regulator power to the circuit module power input or isolates them dependent upon a power switch input. In a low power mode a second PMOS connected between the first PMOS gate and output diode connects the first PMOS. This supplied the circuit module from the voltage regulator power as reduced in voltage by a diode forward bias drop. This lower voltage should be sufficient for flip-flops in the circuit module to retain their state while not guaranteeing logic operation. There may be a plurality of chain connected droop switch each powering a corresponding circuit module.

    Abstract: An adaptive voltage scaling technique includes using a temperature sensor arranged on a semiconductor die to determine a current die temperature of the semiconductor die, using a performance sensor arranged on a semiconductor die to determine a current performance metric of the semiconductor die, determining whether the current performance metric matches an expected performance metric based at least partially on the current die temperature and, if the current performance metric does not match the expected performance metric, indicate a performance sensor error, when a performance sensor error is indicated, determining an updated power supply voltage for correcting the performance sensor error, and causing a current power supply voltage supplied by a power supply voltage source of the semiconductor die to be changed to the updated power supply voltage.

    Abstract: A power supply for an electronic circuit enables a low effort retention mode. During a normal mode a circuit module is supplied a first voltage sufficient for a controlled circuit to operate. During the low effort retention mode the circuit module is supplied with a second voltage lower than the first voltage. The second voltage is sufficient for flop-flops to retain their state but not sufficient to guarantee proper circuit operation. The second voltage is produced by a voltage drop (droop) from the first voltage. The preferred embodiment includes a System On Chip and one external voltage regulator and an on-chip droop circuit for each circuit module.
