  • Patent number: 11947401
    Abstract: A system on chip includes a core configured to maintain a clock gating state; a plurality of header switch circuits configured to deliver a supply voltage, which is reduced from an external supply voltage, to the core in response to a plurality of control signals; and a voltage regulator configured to monitor the supply voltage, change logic levels of the plurality of control signals according to a difference level corresponding to a difference between the supply voltage and a preset target voltage, and output the plurality of control signals of which the logic levels have been changed to the plurality of header switch circuits.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240061458
    Abstract: A system-on-chip according to an embodiment includes a core including a header switch circuit configured to transmit a power supply voltage applied to a first power rail as a supply voltage to a second power rail and a logic circuit configured to operate based on the supply voltage from the second power rail, and a low-dropout (LDO) regulator configured to regulate a magnitude of first current output to the second power rail based on a change in the supply voltage, wherein the LDO regulator is further configured to control on/off of a plurality of first header switches included in the header switch circuit based on an amount of the change in the supply voltage.
