摘要： Systems and methods for positioning thermal sensors within an integrated circuit in a manner that provides useful thermal measurements corresponding to different parts of the integrated circuit. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes multiple, duplicate functional blocks. A separate thermal sensor is coupled to each of the duplicate functional blocks, preferably in the same relative location on each of the duplicate functional blocks, and preferably at a hotspot. One embodiment also includes thermal sensors on one or more functional blocks of other types in the integrated circuit. One embodiment includes a thermal sensor positioned at a cool spot, such as at the edge of the integrated circuit chip. Each of the thermal sensors may have ports to enable power and ground connections or data connections between the sensors and external components or devices.

摘要： The present invention provides for determining a temperature in a chip. A voltage across a thermal diode is generated. It is then determined whether the voltage across the first thermal diode exceeds a threshold value. The voltage is correlated with a range of values. The determination of whether the voltage across the thermal diode exceeds the threshold value is correlated with the correlation of the voltage with a range of values. Through the use of voltage level sensors, the use of C4 input/output pins are avoided.

摘要： Given a function F of a circuit having a data latching device and a feedback loop feeding an output Q of the device into logic which feeds the device, a method includes extracting at least one data independent case and clock-gating the device with the at least one data independent case. The method also includes eliminating the feedback loop if function F depends only on Q with a positive polarity or leaving the feedback loop if function F depends on Q in both positive and negative polarities.

摘要： A method, a computer program, and an apparatus are provided for generating circuit energy models for a macro using multiple clock gating inputs. Circuit energy models are used to estimate system power consumption. The present invention enables circuit energy models to be created for macros that contain multiple clock gating inputs. Energy tables are created based upon the macro's input switching factor and the clock activation percentage. The clock activation percentage is produced by turning on and off the multiple clock gating inputs during the simulations. These energy tables are generated from a minimum number of power simulations. By using clock activation percentage as a parameter accurate power estimations are produced.

摘要： An apparatus, a method, and a computer program are provided to disable clock distribution. In microprocessors, the clock distribution system can account for a substantial amount of power consumption. Disabling the clock distribution system, however, has been difficult because of the usual requirement for a separate clock for control logic. Therefore, combinational logic can be employed to disrupt the clock distribution and allow a processor to be awakened without a need for a separate clock.

摘要： An apparatus, a method, and a computer program are provided to gate a Phased Locked Loop (PLL). In microprocessors, the clock distribution system can account for a substantial amount of power consumption. Gating the PLLs, however, has been difficult because of the usual requirement for a separate clock for control logic and because the PLL requires timed to reacquire phase/frequency lock. Therefore, lock detection logic can be employed to allow the PLL to reacquire phase/frequency lock. Additionally, signals from external devices and the processor can be employed to gate the PLL and allow the processor to be awakened without a need for a separate clock.

摘要： A method, a computer program, and an apparatus are provided for generating circuit energy models for a macro containing internal clock gating. Circuit energy models are used to estimate system power consumption. The present invention enables circuit energy models to be created for macros that contain internal clock gating and multiple clock gating inputs. To achieve accurate power estimates a voltage supply is connected to each clock activate signal. Energy tables are then created based upon the macro's input switching factor percentage and clock activation percentage. These power tables are generated from a minimum number of power simulations. By incorporating internally generated clock activate signals into the power estimations the macro energy tables are much more accurate.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided for modeling algorithm for power consumption with improved accuracy. The improved model allows for variable operation of Local Clock Buffers (LCBs), which consume significant amounts power. Also, the amount of power consumed by each LCB can be varied. These variations of operation of LCBs and power consumption by LCBs allows for a more realistic model of operation of a given circuit or macro instead of the traditional “worst-case scenario” of power consumption.

An exemplary computer implemented method includes identifying the set of components in the computer chip. The set of components include those components which are not clock gated.
