What is Adaptive voltage scaling (AVS)?
A technique that measures each chip's speed and temperature on chip and approaches the minimum voltage at which it works, trimming wasted margin.

Field: Power Management
With AVS, on-chip ring oscillators or delay-measuring circuits check actual speed, and voltage is adjusted to just what that chip needs, accounting for temperature and aging.
