Abstract
A device for adaptively controlling a voltage supplied to circuitry in substantially close proximity to the device, comprising a processing module, a first tracking element coupled to the processing module and producing a first value indicative of a first estimated speed associated with the circuitry, and a second tracking element coupled to the processing module and producing a second value indicative of a second estimated speed associated with the circuitry. The processing module compares each of the first and second values to a target value and causes a voltage output to be adjusted based on said comparison.
