Abstract
A semiconductor device is disclosed that includes, among other things, a computing device including a plurality of transistors, an activity monitor to determine an activity metric associated with the plurality of transistors, and a power controller to, responsive to the activity metric indicating a first activity level, set a power supply voltage for the plurality of transistors to a first value, and responsive to the activity metric indicating a second activity level less than the first activity level, set the power supply voltage to a second value greater than the first value and apply a first reverse back bias voltage to the plurality of transistors to increase a threshold voltage of the plurality of transistors.
