IC WITH ON-DIE POWER-GATING CIRCUIT

摘要

A semiconductor device is described that includes, on a single die, both a functional circuit and a power-gating circuit. The power-gating circuit is used to control the power delivered to core circuit elements such as the functional circuit on the semiconductor device. The power is provided to and possibly from the power-gating circuit using underutilized die connection elements such as C4 bumps.
