Abstract
A structure and method for power distribution to a network for an integrated circuit chip complex are provided. The chip complex has at least two sectors, each having at least one power providing connection with at least one of said connections beings individually addressable by, and isolatable from, a given power source. At least one MEMS is positioned to selectively connect and disconnect said at least one connection to and from said given power source.
