Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a method of mitigating voltage noise events. The method includes detecting the presence of a voltage noise event at the integrated circuit device. Thereafter, one or more local clock buffers (LCBs) is selected for dampening. A type of dampening is selected for the LCBs. Finally, the dampening is applied to the LCB while the voltage noise event is occurring.
