In recent years, power dissipation in CMOS circuits has grown exponentially due to the fast technology scaling and the increase in complexity. Supply Voltage scaling is an effective technique to reduce dynamic power dissipation due to the non-linear relationship between dynamic power and Vdd. In other words, Vdd can be scaled freely except with limitation for below threshold voltage operation. The dynamic voltage scaling architecture mainly consists of dc-dc power regulator which is customised to produce variability on the Vdd. The implemented architecture can dynamically vary the Vdd from 300 mV to 1.2V, with initial setup time of 1.5
