TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a library of continuous diffusion compatible (CDC) cells for designing an integrated circuit, which includes a p-doped diffusion region electrically connected to a supply rail and continuous from the left edge to the right edge of the CDC cell.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive clock distribution system includes a tunable-length delay circuit to delay distribution of a clock signal provided to a clocked circuit, to prevent timing margin degradation of the clocked circuits after a voltage droop occurs in a power supply supplying power to the clock circuit.

TL;DR: In this article, a bi-modal and fine grained power delivery to an integrated circuit (200) comprising functional blocks (202 1...202 M ) is described. But the performance of the functional block is limited by the duty cycle of the first and second power sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, techniques and apparatus are provided for updating replacement policy information for a fully associative buffer cache. And a method is provided to evict entries from the second cache memory based on the updated policy information.

TL;DR: In this paper, a first power source is coupled to a functional block of the integrated circuit for supporting a first operating mode of the functional block and a second power source can be derived from the first source using on-die regulators or provided independently.
