Abstract
A circuit board includes: a first plurality of integrated circuit (IC) chips, a second plurality of IC chips that is distinct from the first plurality of IC chips, a first power rail configured to provide power to the first plurality of IC chips, and a second power rail configured to provide power to the second plurality of IC chips. A controller is configured to receive sensor data from the first plurality of IC chips and the second plurality of IC chips and independently determine, based on the sensor data, a first power supply voltage for the first power rail and a second power supply voltage for the second power rail. The first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage are different from one another. A power supply is configured to provide the first and second power supply voltages to the first and second power rails.
