Abstract:
One embodiment provides a method for reducing leakage current in device logic having an operational supply-voltage threshold, a nonzero data-retention supply voltage threshold, and two or more on-die transistor switches to switchably connect a voltage source to the device logic. After the logic enters an idle period, one or more of the switches are opened to lower a supply voltage oldie logic below the operational supply-voltage threshold hut above the data-retention supply-voltage threshold. When the logic exits the idle period, one or more, of the switches are closed to raise the supply voltage of the logic above the operational supply-voltage threshold.

Claim (Index 19):
A logic-device component exhibiting reduced leakage current, the component comprising:\n logic having an operational supply-voltage threshold for maintaining operation and a data-retention supply-voltage threshold for retaining data; distributed over the logic, two or more zones of transistor switches, the switches of each, zone connected in parallel with gate terminals connected to a common control line, each zone switchably connecting a voltage supply line to a nearest region of the logic; and a power-management unit operatively coupled to the control line of each zone and configured to open one or more zones of switches to lower the voltage supplied to the logic after the component enters an idle period, but to maintain the voltage above the data-retention supply-voltage threshold.
