Abstract
One example discloses an apparatus for power management, including: a current sink/source sensor configured to monitor a power-supply to inter-power-domain sink/source-current and to generate a current mismatch signal if the power-supply to inter-power-domain sink/source-current exceeds a threshold range; and a current imbalance controller coupled to receive the current mismatch signal and configured to generate a set of power-domain control signals; wherein the set of power-domain control signals reduce an absolute value of the power-supply to inter-power-domain sink/source-current.
