Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for temperature and process corner sensitive control of power gated domains are described. An example apparatus includes an internal circuit; a power supply line; and a power gating control circuit which responds, at least in part, to a first change from a first state to a second state of a control signal to initiate supplying a power supply voltage from the power supply line to the internal circuit, and continue supplying the power supply voltage from the power supply line to internal circuit for at least a timeout period from a second change from the second state to the first state of the control signal, in which the timeout period represent temperature dependency.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n receiving an enable signal; coupling, via a first switch, a power gated circuit to at least one of a first supply voltage or a second supply voltage; responsive to the enable signal being at a first logic level, disconnecting, via a second switch, a monitor node from one of the first supply voltage or the second supply voltage; monitoring, at the monitor node, a same model subthreshold leakage as in the power gated circuit corresponding to a defined temperature of the power gated circuit; and deactivating the first switch when the enable signal is at the first logic level and a voltage at the monitor node crosses a trigger voltage.
