    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing proactive current protection. In one embodiment, the method comprises: prior to transitioning to a new state for an integrated circuit (IC), calculating a sum of expected powers for a plurality of domains in the IC by calculating an expected current for each of the plurality of domains based on an individual domain frequency in the new state and multiplying the expected current with its associated voltage for each of the plurality of domains for the new state; comparing the sum to a power limit; and if the sum is greater than the power limit, then reducing the individual domain frequency associated with at least one domain in the plurality of domains to maintain the total instantaneous power of the IC below the power limit.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于提供主动电流保护的方法和装置。 在一个实施例中,该方法包括:在转换到集成电路(IC)的新状态之前,通过针对多个域中的每个域计算预期电流来计算IC中多个域的预期功率之和 在新状态的单个域频率上,将预期电流与其相关联的电压乘以用于新状态的多个域中的每一个; 将总和与功率限制进行比较; 并且如果所述和大于所述功率极限,则减少与所述多个域中的至少一个域相关联的各个域频率,以将所述IC的总瞬时功率维持在所述功率极限以下。

    Abstract: A power supply comprising a hardware interface having conductive contacts and conforming to a power supply design standard comprising a pin-out definition specifying that a first conductive contact is to be dedicated to communicating first information of a first type. The power supply comprises first, second, and third circuitry. The first circuitry is to determine the first information. The second circuitry is to determine second information of a second type, wherein the second type of information is other than the first type. The third circuitry is to send, via the first conductive contact, a communication comprising the first information and the second information. In embodiments, a PCB comprises a connector to couple the PCB to the power supply via an interconnect to be coupled to the hardware interface, and an IC to receive the communication, and identify the first and second information.
