Abstract
A system that has low power recovery capabilities, the system includes: a switch that is adapted to provide a gated power supply to a power gated circuit in response to a control current; and a control signal generator adapted to control an intensity of the control current in response to a reception of a low power period end indicator, a value of the continuous supply voltage at a port of the control signal generator, a value of the gated supply voltage and an output signal of a high switching point buffer that is inputted by the gated supply voltage.
