Abstract
Various techniques and circuit implementations for power reduction management in integrated circuits are disclosed. Different sets of power delivery trigger circuits may be coupled to the integrated circuit by wiring or serial communication interfaces. Power reduction responses may be implemented at faster rates utilizing the wired power delivery trigger circuits while slower power reduction response can be implemented utilizing serially connected power delivery trigger circuits. The threshold for power reduction response by wired power delivery trigger circuits may also be closer to a functional failure point of the integrated circuit in order to provide fast response to avoid failure of the integrated circuit.
