摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing power dissipation within a functional unit of microprocessor includes sensing circuit the unit. low mode identifying identifies when measured exceeds predetermined amount or value. Upon such condition, operates in thereby its dissipation. Operation continues until reaches safe level. The internally determines selectively enters to reduce Low operation reduces
