Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) chip includes a voltage supply circuit to provide a supply voltage. A droop detection circuit couples to the voltage supply circuit to detect a reduction in the supply voltage and to generate a droop detection signal based on the reduction in the supply voltage. Asynchronous response circuitry couples to the droop detection circuit. The asynchronous response circuitry is responsive to the droop detection signal to generate a droop response signal to reduce a frequency of a clock signal from a nominal operating frequency to a reduced frequency.
