<p>In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a processor (100, 200, 210, 250) may receive a supply voltage provided by an external voltage regulator (150, 205, 215, 270). The processor (100, 200, 210, 250) may include a voltage sensor, the output of which may be a control signal to indicate if the supply voltage is above or below a target value. This target value may be adjusted by the processor (100, 200, 210, 250) in accordance with a power management policy. The control signal may be provided to the external voltage regulator (150, 205, 215, 270) to adjust the supply voltage accordingly.</p> |
