Abstract
Methods and systems for optimal decoupling capacitance in a dual-voltage power-island architecture. In low-voltage areas of the chip, accumulation capacitors of two different types are used for decoupling, depending on whether the capacitor is located in an area which is always-on or an area which is conditionally powered.
