Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device can include a memory array section comprising a plurality of memory arrays that each include memory cells for storing data values; a data path section having switching circuits configured to enable data paths between the memory arrays and a plurality of input/outputs (I/Os) of the IC device; and a power fill control circuit configured to activate power-fill circuits in the IC device to perform non-mission mode operations that consume current, the amount of non-mission mode operations varying in response to mission mode circuit activity in the IC device; wherein mission mode circuit activity includes circuit activity resulting from a user input to the IC device.
