Abstract:
An adaptive voltage scaling technique includes using a temperature sensor arranged on a semiconductor die to determine a current die temperature of the semiconductor die, using a performance sensor arranged on a semiconductor die to determine a current performance metric of the semiconductor die, determining whether the current performance metric matches an expected performance metric based at least partially on the current die temperature and, if the current performance metric does not match the expected performance metric, indicate a performance sensor error, when a performance sensor error is indicated, determining an updated power supply voltage for correcting the performance sensor error, and causing a current power supply voltage supplied by a power supply voltage source of the semiconductor die to be changed to the updated power supply voltage.
