Abstract
Power management for an integrated circuit. At least one example embodiment is a method of operating an integrated circuit on a semiconductor substrate, the method comprising: measuring, by a body voltage controller, a signal indicative of power consumption of devices on the semiconductor substrate, the body voltage controller implemented on the semiconductor substrate; creating, by the body voltage controller, a value indicative of a modified body voltage, the creating based on the signal indicative of power consumption; and modifying, by a body voltage converter on the semiconductor substrate, a body voltage applied to a plurality of transistors on the semiconductor substrate, the modification responsive to the value indicative of the modified body voltage.
