Abstract:
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first die in a power network receiving, from each die of a plurality of dice in the power network, a first signal indicating that the respective die of the plurality of dice is in a high current state or a second signal indicating that the respective die of the plurality of dice is an active current state. The received signals include at least one second signal. The first die determines, based upon the received signals, a number of dice of the plurality of dice that are currently active and selects an activity threshold based upon that number. The first die further determines an activity level for the power network and transmits, to the plurality of dice, the first signal indicating that the first die is in the high current state in response to determining that the activity level is less than the activity threshold.
