Abstract
A particular method includes, prior to issuing a recommendation by an adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) system, performing a first iteration of an AVS operation to sample characteristics of a semiconductor device to determine a first adjustment recommendation. The method further includes performing at least one additional iteration of the AVS operation to determine at least one additional adjustment iteration. When a threshold number of consecutive adjustment recommendations are consistent, the method includes issuing the recommendation by the AVS system.
