Method and apparatus for controlling a supply current for a circuit or a plurality of circuit blocks

摘要

A method for controlling a supply current for a circuit includes setting a target value of a quantity related to a supply current, said target value being different from a presently established value of the quantity, and adjusting the quantity until a value of the quantity corresponds to the target value. A method for controlling a supply current to a plurality of circuit blocks includes providing a plurality of partial supply currents to the plurality of circuit blocks, setting at least one target value of a quantity related to at least one of the partial supply currents, checking whether a predetermined condition which depends on the at least one set target value is achieved, and if the predetermined condition is not achieved, changing at least one among the at least one target values and the at least one partial supply currents to achieve the predetermined condition.

1. A method for controlling a supply current to a plurality of circuit blocks, comprising:
providing one or more of a plurality of partial supply currents to one or more of the plurality of circuit blocks; setting at least one target value of a quantity representative of at least one of the partial supply currents; checking whether a predetermined condition which depends on the at least one set target value is achieved; and if the predetermined condition is not achieved, changing at least one among the at least one target values and the at least one partial supply current to achieve the predetermined condition.
