1. An apparatus, comprising:
an electronic circuit comprising first circuitry and second circuitry;
a first set of sub-threshold current reduction circuit (SCRC) switches at one or more SCRC regions of an integrated circuit device including the electronic circuit, the first set of SCRC switches configured to provide power to the first circuitry; and
a second set of SCRC switches at the one or more SCRC regions, at least one second SCRC switch of the second set of SCRC switches positioned between one of the first set of SCRC switches and another of the first set of SCRC switches, the second set of SCRC switches configured to provide power to the second circuitry.
