Abstract: Apparatuses, and methods, for digital cells power reduction are disclosed. For an embodiment, a first plurality of digital logic cells are directly connected to a Vdd terminal and a Vss terminal that have a potential difference of VDD, a second plurality of digital logic cells being directly connected to a Vdd_R terminal and a Vss_R terminal, wherein a potential difference between the Vdd_R terminal and the Vss terminal is (VDD?X1), and a potential difference between the Vss_R terminal and the Vss terminal is X2, wherein at least one digital logic cell has at least one of (a) an input directly connected to an output of at least one digital logic cell of the second plurality, or (b) an output directly connected to an input of at least one digital logic cell of the second plurality. Vdd, Vdd_R and Vss_R terminal voltages can be generated by an array of devices.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for power supply stacking of an array of devices are disclosed. For an embodiment, each device is specified by a location (i,j), each device includes a Vdd terminal, and a Vss terminal, at least a plurality of the devices further including at least one other V_Terz terminal. For an embodiment, the Vss terminal of the device at location (i,j), for i=2:N, j=1:M, is connected to the Vdd terminal of the device at location (i?1,j) resulting in a voltage between the Vdd and Vss terminals of at least a majority of the devices in the array to be a substantially same voltage VDD, wherein the potential of the Vss terminal of the each device at any location (i,j+1) is generated to be higher than the potential of the Vss terminal for another device at location (i,j) by a voltage Xj, for i=1:N, j=1:M?1.
