Abstract
Dynamic power supply voltage adjustment in a computing device may involve two stages. In a first stage, a first method for adjusting a power supply voltage may be disabled. While the first method remains disabled, a request to adjust the power supply voltage from an initial value to a target value using a second method may be received. The second method may be initiated in response to the request if a time interval has elapsed since a previous request to adjust the power supply voltage. In a second stage, the first method may be enabled when it has been determined that the power supply voltage has reached the target value.
