SEMICONDUCTOR DIE HAVING ON-DIE POWER SWITCH FOR SELECTING TARGET OPERATION VOLTAGE FROM OPERATION VOLTAGES PROVIDED BY DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18124576 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DIE HAVING ON-DIE POWER SWITCH FOR SELECTING TARGET OPERATION VOLTAGE FROM OPERATION VOLTAGES PROVIDED BY DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a semiconductor die that includes an on-die power switch and a target device. The power switch has multiple power input nodes, a power output node, and a switch circuit. It receives operation voltages from different power sources and selects one as the target operation voltage for the target device. The switch circuit connects one of the power input nodes to the power output node. The target device operates using the selected target operation voltage. The power switch and target device are separate circuit blocks on the semiconductor die.

Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor die includes an on-die power switch and a target device. The on-die power switch includes a plurality of power input nodes, a power output node, and a switch circuit. The power input nodes receive a plurality of operation voltages from a plurality of different power sources, respectively. The power output node outputs a target operation voltage selected from the operation voltages. The switch circuit selectively couples one of the power input nodes to the power output node. The target device operates according to the target operation voltage supplied from the on-die power switch. The on-die power switch and the target device are separate circuit blocks of the semiconductor die.
