Abstract
Disclosed is an integrated circuit device including a plurality of power domain blocks, which includes a core power domain block. A power control circuit is configured to control power supplied to each of the plurality of power domain blocks independently responsive to control communication from the core power domain block. The power control circuit includes a plurality of power clusters corresponding to the plurality of power domain blocks, respectively. The plurality of power clusters control power supplied to the plurality of power domain blocks, respectively, independently responsive to the control communication from the core power domain block.
