In a DVS microprocessor subsystem, the processor core and surrounding peripherals are run from a dynamically scaled voltage supply, enabling up to a 10x improvement in average energy per operation. This section describes the implementation of a prototype dynamic DC-DC converter for application in a DVS system along with measured results.
