Abstract

Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for optimizing voltage use in digital circuits. This can be obtained by creating situations for digital circuits such that the effective critical path (ECP) can be used such as, for example, the case where a digital circuit includes a plurality of voltage domains powered by individual and possibly different voltage sources. This can then reduce voltage use in digital circuits.
