Claim 17:
18. The circuit of claim 17, further comprising a functional agile ring oscillator (ARO) including the first and second instances, wherein the output clock is output to at least one other circuit and sourced by the functional ARO, wherein the first instance is associated with a first voltage scaling characteristic, wherein the second instance is associated with a second voltage scaling characteristic, and wherein the circuit further includes:
a first shadow ARO, the first shadow ARO replicating the functional ARO; and
a second shadow ARO, the second shadow ARO replicating the functional ARO,
wherein the first instance that is associated with the first voltage scaling characteristic and replicated in the first shadow ARO is disabled in the first shadow ARO, and wherein the second instance that is associated with the second voltage scaling characteristic and replicated in the second shadow ARO is disabled in the second shadow ARO.
