Abstract
Systems and methods for bi-modal and fine grained power delivery to an integrated circuit comprising functional blocks. A first power source is coupled to a functional block of the integrated circuit for supporting a first operating mode of the functional block. A second power source is coupled to the functional block for supporting a second operating mode of the functional block. The first and second operating modes can be high and low frequency modes respectively. The second power source can be derived from the first power source using on-die regulators or provided independently. A desired average throughput of the functional block can be achieved by controlling duty cycles of the first and second power sources.
