Abstract
An exemplary semiconductor device includes an internal clock circuit configured to intermittently enable and disable a clock signal while in a Maximum Power Savings Mode. The duty cycle of the enablement and disablement of the clock signal may be based on susceptibility to negative-bias temperature instability of a component of the semiconductor device. The clock signal may be enabled and disabled via a synchronizer.
