Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure include an integrated circuit that includes a first circuit, a first performance detector, and a first regulator. The first circuit is configured to receive a first regulated voltage from a first voltage supply line disposed on the integrated circuit. The first performance detector includes a first speed monitor disposed adjacent to the first circuit, and the first performance detector is configured to generate a first control signal based on a first speed detection result from the first speed monitor. The first speed detection result corresponds to measuring an operational speed of the first circuit. The first regulator is configured to receive a global supply voltage from a power rail and output the first regulated voltage based on the global supply voltage and the first control signal.
