Abstract
A power management technique is provided that operates with regard to a dynamic sleep threshold voltage. If a device's battery voltage is greater than the dynamic sleep threshold voltage, a voltage rail for the device is collapsed during a sleep mode for the device. Conversely, if the battery voltage is less than the dynamic sleep threshold voltage, the voltage rail is sourced during the sleep mode for the device.
