Abstract
Systems and methods for power distribution are disclosed. A system includes a first power domain that supplies current to an integrated circuit at a first voltage level, a second power domain that supplies current to the integrated circuit at a second voltage level, and a current distribution component that is connected to the first power domain and connectable to the second power domain and senses a metric comprising a first current level or a first voltage level drawn from the first power domain, determines whether the metric exceeds a first threshold, and in response to determining that the metric exceeds the first threshold, electrically connects the second power domain to the integrated circuit to supply additional current such that an aggregate current level received by the integrated circuit comprises current from the first power domain and the additional current from the second power domain.
