Abstract
A processing device performs dual-rail power equalization for its memory cell array and logic circuitry. The memory cell array is coupled to a first power rail through a first switch to receive a first voltage level. The logic circuitry is coupled to a second power rail through a second switch to receive a second voltage level that is different from the first voltage level. The processing device also includes a power switch coupled to at least the second power rail and operative to be enabled to equalize voltage supplied to the memory cell array and the logic circuitry.
