摘要: Adaptive voltage scalers (AVSs), systems, and related methods are disclosed. The AVSs configured to adaptively adjust levels powering a functional circuit(s) based on target operating frequencies delay variation conditions avoid or reduce margin. In one embodiment, the AVS includes an database. database can be store for various of allows rapid level decisions. stored in may initial, minimum, learned, populated, explored, backed out, temperature-based, and/or age-based according disclosed embodiments further An module software-based that consults make Providing as allow flexibility configuring
