Power Domain:
Groups of elements which share a common set of power supply requirements
Isolation Strategies:
How the interface to a power domain should be isolated when its primary power supply is removed
Retention Strategies:
What registered state In a power domain should be retained when its primary power supply is removed
Repeater Strategies:
How domain ports should be buffered
