Abstract
Semiconductor devices, systems, and methods are disclosed to facilitate power management. A method includes operating a first voltage range island of a semiconductor device within a first voltage range. The first voltage range includes a first midpoint. The first voltage range is provided in part by a voltage source that includes a tracking voltage regulator. The method also includes operating a second voltage range island of the semiconductor device within a second voltage range. The second voltage range includes a second midpoint. The first voltage range is different than the second voltage range.
