    Abstract: Data retention circuitry, such as at least one integrated circuit (IC), is disclosed herein for power multiplexing with flip-flops having a retention feature. In an example aspect, an IC includes a first power rail and a second power rail. The IC further includes a flip-flop and power multiplexing circuitry. The flip flop includes a master portion and a slave portion. The master portion is coupled to the first power rail for a regular operational mode and for a retention operational mode. The power multiplexing circuitry is configured to couple the slave portion to the first power rail for the regular operational mode and to the second power rail for the retention operational mode.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed herein for power management through power rail multiplexing. In an example aspect, an IC includes a first power rail, a second power rail, and a load power rail. The IC also includes a first set of transistors including first transistors that are coupled to the first power rail and a second set of transistors including second transistors that are coupled to the second power rail. The IC further includes power-multiplexer circuitry that is configured to switch access to power for the load power rail from the first power rail to the second power rail by sequentially turning off the first transistors of the first set of transistors and then sequentially turning on the second transistors of the second set of transistors.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed herein for adaptive power multiplexing with a power distribution network. In an example aspect, the integrated circuit includes a first power rail, a second power rail, and a load power rail. The integrated circuit also includes multiple power-multiplexer tiles and power-multiplexer control circuitry. The multiple power-multiplexer tiles are coupled in series in a chained arrangement and configured to jointly perform a power-multiplexing operation. Each power-multiplexer tile is configured to switch between coupling the load power rail to the first power rail and coupling the load power rail to the second power rail. The power-multiplexer control circuitry is configured to control a direction of current flow to prevent cross-conduction between the first power rail and the second power rail during the power-multiplexing operation.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed herein for adjustable power rail multiplexing. In an example aspect, an IC includes a first power rail, a second power rail, and a load power rail. The IC further includes multiple power-multiplexer (power-mux) tiles and adjustment circuitry. The multiple power-mux tiles are coupled in series in a chained arrangement and implemented to jointly perform a power-multiplexing operation. Each power-mux tile is implemented to switch between coupling the load power rail to the first power rail and coupling the load power rail to the second power rail. The adjustment circuitry is implemented to adjust at least one order in which the multiple power-mux tiles perform at least a portion of the power-multiplexing operation.
