Abstract
For one disclosed embodiment, switching voltage regulator circuitry may be controlled to supply a voltage to at least a portion of an integrated circuit. Information corresponding to a current load for a different power state of at least a portion of the integrated circuit may be received. The switching voltage regulator circuitry may be controlled to adjust the voltage to a different value based at least in part on the received information. For another disclosed embodiment, a voltage may be received for a power state of at least a portion of an integrated circuit having first logic to perform one or more functions and second logic integrated with the first logic. Information corresponding to a current load for a different power state of at least a portion of the integrated circuit may be sent from the second logic to voltage regulator control logic to adjust the voltage to a different value. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
