CA 2713142

A method of minimizing power consumption in an integrated device is disclosed. The method comprises providing a plurality of circuit blocks having circuits for performing logic functions, wherein each circuit block consumes power in a static state (1202); coupling one of a plurality of operating voltages to each circuit block of the plurality of circuit blocks (1204); enabling a reduction of power consumed by a first set of circuit blocks by way of a first power reduction signal (1206); and enabling a reduction of power consumed by a second set of circuit blocks by way of a second power reduction signal (1208). A circuit (100, 200) for minimizing power consumption in a device is also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un procédé de minimisation de la consommation de courant dans un dispositif intégré. Le procédé consiste à fournir une pluralité de blocs de circuits ayant des circuits destinés à effectuer des fonctions logiques, chaque bloc de circuits consommant du courant dans un état statique (1202) ; à coupler une pluralité de tensions d'actionnement à chaque bloc de circuits de la pluralité de blocs de circuits (1204) ; à valider une réduction du courant consommé par un premier ensemble de blocs de circuits au moyen d'un premier signal de réduction du courant (1206) ; et à valider une réduction de courant consommé par un second ensemble de blocs de circuits au moyen d'un second signal de réduction de courant (1208). Un circuit (100, 200) pour minimiser la consommation de courant dans un dispositif est également décrit.
