Abstract: Various implementations described herein may be directed to retention voltages for integrated circuits. In one implementation, an integrated circuit may include functional circuitry to store data bits, and may also include retention mode circuitry coupled to the functional circuitry to provide retention voltages to the functional circuitry, where the retention mode circuitry may include a first circuitry to provide a first retention voltage to the functional circuitry. The first circuitry may include a first diode device, and may include a first transistor device, a second diode device, or combinations thereof. The retention mode circuitry may also include a second circuitry to provide a second retention voltage to the functional circuitry, where the second circuitry includes second transistor devices. Further, the functional circuitry may be held in a data retention mode when the first retention voltage or the second retention voltage is provided to the functional circuitry.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit for brown-out detection. The integrated circuit may include a first stage configured to receive an input voltage and provide a first voltage independent of temperature while remaining related to the input voltage. The integrated circuit may include a second stage configured to receive the input voltage, receive the first voltage from the first stage, and up-convert the first voltage as input voltage lowers. The second stage may be configured to provide a second voltage corresponding to a differential voltage of the input voltage and the first voltage. The integrated circuit may include a third stage configured to receive the second voltage and provide a high-gain output voltage corresponding to an error signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for masking power consumption associated with one or more operations of a logic circuitry of a processor. The apparatus comprises power-complementing circuitry configured to provide a second power consumption to directly power-complementing the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The second power consumption complements the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The apparatus further comprises header circuitry configured to enable a common node to vary in voltage corresponding to the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The power-complementing circuitry and the header circuitry are each coupled to the logic circuitry at the common node.

Abstract: An integrated circuit has voltage generating circuitry for generating an on-chip voltage from a supply voltage in response to clock pulses. Clock control circuitry controls transmission of the clock pulses to the voltage generating circuitry. The clock control circuitry receives a reference voltage and a digital offset value comprising a binary numeric value identifying an offset. The clock control circuitry suppresses transmission of the clock pulses if the on-chip voltage is greater than the sum of the reference voltage and the offset identified by the digital offset value, to reduce power consumption. The offset can be tuned digitally to vary the average level of the on-chip voltage. A similar digital tuning mechanism may be used in a clocked comparator to compare a first voltage with a digitally tunable threshold voltage.
