A semiconductor device, able to be selectively configured to perform one or more user defined logic functions, includes a semiconductor die and a selectable power regulator. The semiconductor die, in one aspect, includes a first region and a second region. The first region is operatable to perform a first set of logic functions based on a first power domain having a first voltage. The second region is configured to perform a second set of logic functions based on a second power domain having a second voltage. The selectable power regulator, in one embodiment, provides the second voltage for facilitating the second power domain in the second region of the semiconductor die in response to at least one enabling input from the first region of the semiconductor die.
A method of a semiconductor device partitioned into multiple power domains facilitating dynamically power-down and power-up a portion of the device for power conservation, the method comprising:
A semiconductor device able to house multiple dies having at least one die being configurable to perform a user defined logic function, the device comprising:
A programmable semiconductor device able to be selectively configured to perform one or more user defined logic functions comprising:
