Abstract:
Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods of using such apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes voltage regulators in an integrated circuit device, and a frequency control block and a module included in the integrated circuit device. Each of the voltage regulators includes a current sensor. The frequency control block operates to provide a clock signal to each of the voltage regulators. The clock signal has a frequency based on digital information. The module operates to receive a current from the current sensor of each of the voltage regulators and provides the digital information to the frequency control block to control the frequency of the clock signal. The digital information has a value based on the current from each of the current sensors.
