Voltage regulators usually serve the purpose of generating a constant regulated output voltage. By means of control loops, a stable and precise supply is generated from an unregulated input voltage. What purpose, then, does dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) serve?
Dynamic voltage scaling means that the outpu
