systems , methods , and computer readable media that can mitigate the effects of semiconductor aging in a semiconductor device are described . traditional methods of mitigating semiconductor aging can be wasteful since they overcorrect for aging using a high operational voltage . the approach discussed herein steps up the operational voltage for the electronic device with time based on predetermined aging models . this allows power consumption by the electronic device , particularly early in the designed operational life , to be much less than it would otherwise be .
