Abstract:
Embodiments described in the present disclosure relate to a method for providing power for an integrated system, including acts of: providing the system with power, ground and body bias voltages, the body bias voltages comprising a body bias voltage of p-channel MOS transistors, greater or lower than the supply voltage, and a body bias voltage of n-channel MOS transistors, lower or greater than the ground voltage, selecting by means of the system out of the voltages provided, depending on whether a processing unit of the system is in a period of activity or inactivity, voltages to be supplied to bias the bodies of the MOS transistors of the processing unit, and providing the bodies of the MOS transistors of the processing unit with the voltages selected.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a signal synchronization circuit comprising at least one synchronizer (2.1-2.2) comprising a number N of series connected clock delay elements (3.1-3.3), N being equal to or greater than unity and a clock signal generator (1) arranged for generating a modulated clock signal adapted to clock the clock delay element (3.1-3.3) or elements of the at least one synchronizer (2.1-2.2). The clock generator (1) is arranged to receive a clock signal (5) and at least one operating value (6) and to generate the modulated clock signal (1 out) from the clock signal (5) modified based on the operating value (6).
