Abstract
A 10nm 4-core x86 IP with multiple low-power states including C1 (clock-gated core), C6 (power-gated core) and a new state called C1LP where the core voltage is lowered to its retention voltage (VRETENTION) is presented. All-digital closed-loop unified retention clamp for C1LP and wake up for C6 shows power savings of 33%/28% for core/IP, with 120ns wake up latency while addressing impact of PVT variations.
