Abstract:
In an embodiment, a system includes a plurality of functional circuits, a power supply circuit, and a power management circuit. The power supply circuit may generate a shared power signal coupled to each of the functional circuits, and to generate a plurality of adjustable power signals. One adjustable power signal may be coupled to a particular functional circuit of the functional circuits. The power management circuit may a request to the power supply circuit to change a voltage level of the one particular adjustable power signal from a first voltage to a second voltage. The particular functional circuit may couple a respective power node for a sub-circuit of the particular functional circuit to either of the shared power signal or the particular adjustable power signal. The particular functional circuit may also be configured to maintain an operational voltage level on the power node.

Claim (Index 8):
A method comprising:\n generating, by a power supply circuit, a shared power signal coupled to a particular functional circuit included in a plurality of functional circuits; generating, by the power supply circuit, an adjustable power signal coupled to the particular functional circuit; requesting, by a power management circuit, to change a voltage level of the adjustable power signal from a first voltage level to a second voltage level; selectively coupling, by the particular functional circuit, a power node included in the particular functional circuit to either of the shared power signal or the adjustable power signal based on a control signal; and maintaining an operational voltage level on the power node when selectively coupling the power node to either of the shared power signal or the adjustable power signal.
