Claim 12:
13. In an adaptive voltage converter facility manufactured using a selected process having a process corner, a method comprising using the voltage conversion facility to perform the steps of:
developing a tuning parameter adapted to adjust a complementary-to-absolute temperature coefficient of a selected one of a sub-threshold regulated voltage, VSub, wherein VSub is less than a selected transistor threshold voltage, Vth, and a near-threshold regulated voltage, VNear, wherein VNear is greater than or equal to a selected transistor threshold voltage, Vth, and less than or equal to the sum of said selected transistor threshold voltage, Vth, and 0.4 volts; and
developing said selected one of a sub-threshold regulated voltage, VSub, and a near-threshold regulated voltage, VNear, as a function of the tuning parameter.
