Abstract:
A power gating circuit configured to couple with a memory array having an internal voltage, wherein the power gating circuit includes circuitry having an output signal that raises the internal voltage of the memory array if the internal voltage is lower than a first threshold voltage, and lowers the internal voltage if the internal voltage is higher than a second threshold voltage, thereby retaining the internal voltage between the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage.
