Abstract
A circuit assembly includes a functional chip and a first capacitor. The functional chip includes a first logic island and a second logic island. The first capacitor is configured to be selectively coupled (e.g., at different times) to a first power supply terminal of the first logic island and a second power supply terminal of the second logic island.
