摘要： The present invention provides a mechanism for adjusting the activity of an integrated digital circuit such as a processor to reduce voltage changes attributable to current changes triggered by clock gating. The processor includes one or more functional units and a current control circuit that monitors activity states of the processor's functional units to estimate the current consumed over n clock cycles. The current control circuit estimates the current change for a given clock cycle from the n activity states and compares the estimated current change with first and second thresholds. The processors activity is decreased if the estimated current change is greater than the first threshold, and the processor activity is decreased if the estimated current change is less than the second threshold.

摘要： A system for delivering power to a device in a specified voltage range is disclosed. The system includes a power delivery network, characterized by a response function, to deliver power to the device. A current computation unit stores values representing a sequence of current amplitudes drawn by the device on successive clock cycles, and provides them to a current to voltage computation unit. The current to voltage computation unit filters the current amplitudes according to coefficients derived from the response function to provide an estimate of the voltage seen by the device. Operation of the device is adjusted if the estimated voltage falls outside the specified range.

摘要： A mechanism is disclosed for determining a voltage at a device in a power delivery network. The mechanism includes determining an impulse response for the power delivery network, and tracking the current consumed by the device as it operates over a sequence of clock cycles. The activity profile is filtered using a representation of the impulse response to provide a profile of the voltages at the device.

摘要： A processor includes a digital throttle to monitor the activity of various units of the processor's instruction execution pipeline.

摘要： A method and apparatus for compensating for current-change induced voltage changes is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital throttle unit coupled to an instruction pipeline may generate a compensating current signal, which may then cause a dummy load to consume a compensating current.
