摘要:
A circuit for detecting noise events in a system with time variable operating points is provided. A first voltage, which is averaged over time, is compared to a second voltage. A signal is generated to instruct circuits within a processor to initiate actions to keep a voltage from drooping further.

A system for mitigating power supply and power distribution system noise response by throttling execution units based upon voltage sensing in a circuit is provided. A sensing unit senses the voltage of a circuit. The sensing unit determines if the execution of another execution unit will cause the circuit voltage to drop below a threshold level. In response to a determination that the execution of another execution unit will cause the circuit voltage to drop below the threshold level, the execution unit is throttled.

A computer program product is provided for power delivery analysis and design for a hierarchical system. The product includes a storage medium, readable by a processing circuit, for storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method. The method includes building a model corresponding to each element of the hierarchical system, and compiling a repository that contains models corresponding to each element, where the repository includes a net list, a domain list, a component list, a pin list, and a layer list. The method also includes performing optimized gridding for each element, the net list, the domain list, the component list, the pin list, and the layer list; assembling a system model from the models contained in the repository; flattening the system model by converting the system model to a flattened system model that consists entirely of resistors; and running a simulation on the flattened system model.

摘要:
A low inductance via arrangement for multilayer ceramic (MLC) substrates is provided. With the MLC substrate and via arrangement of the illustrative embodiments, the via-field inductance for a given contact pad array is reduced. This reduction is achieved by the introduction of T-jogs and additional vias. These T-jogs and additional vias form additional current paths that cause additional parallel inductances that reduce the via-field inductance. In one illustrative embodiment, the additional T-jogs and vias are added to a center portion of a contact pad array. The T-jogs are comprised of two jogs in a wiring layer of the MLC, each jog being toward a via associated with an adjacent contact pad in the contact pad array. These additional T-jogs and vias form additional current loops parallel to the existing ones which thus, reduce the total inductance of the via-field.

An apparatus and method are provided for monitoring the voltage available in each domain of multiple voltage domains of a partitioned electronic chip. The apparatus comprises a single conductive link coupled to the chip, and further comprises a domain selection network having a single output and a plurality of switchable inputs, the output being connected to the single conductive link, and two inputs being connected to monitor respective voltage levels of two of the plurality of voltage domains. A control mechanism is disposed to operate the selection network, in order to selectively connect one of the inputs to the single conductive link, and a sensor device external to the electronic chip is connected to measure the monitored respective voltage levels of two of the plurality of voltage domains using the single conductive link.
