Power-gating circuit resources of an integrated circuit is described. The
circuit resources are associated into sets responsive to utilization
levels. The associating includes providing a first set of the sets, a
first number of the circuit resources in the first set being associated
with a first level of utilization. The associating also includes
providing a second set of the sets, a second number of the circuit
resources in the second set being associated with a second level of
utilization. The first number is less than the second number responsive
to the first level of utilization being greater than the second level of
utilization. The circuit resources of the first set are commonly coupled
to a reference voltage level via a first gating circuit. The circuit
resources of the second set are commonly gated to the same or a different
reference voltage level via a second gating circuit.
