    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed, including a monitoring circuit, a translation circuit, a first filter circuit, a second filter circuit, and an interface. The monitoring circuit may be configured to receive a plurality of code values indicative of a voltage level of a power supply signal. The translation circuit may be configured to translate a particular code value to a corresponding voltage value of a plurality of voltage values. The first filter circuit may be configured to filter one or more of the plurality of voltage values to generate a plurality of filtered voltage values. The second filter circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of current values using one or more of the plurality of filtered voltage values and based on an impulse response of the power supply signal. The interface may be configured to send one or more of the plurality of current values to a functional circuit.

    Abstract: A power management controller is disclosed. Broadly speaking, the controller may, in response to receiving a timing signal, monitor a temperature of an integrated circuit including multiple processor clusters. The controller may generate a comparison of the temperature and a threshold value, and in response to a determination that the comparison indicates that the temperature is less than the threshold value, transition a particular processor cluster to a new power state.

    Abstract: A power management controller is disclosed. Broadly speaking, the controller may, in response to detecting a timing signal, determine a total power consumption for a plurality of processor clusters, each of which includes a plurality of processor cores. The controller may determine a performance metric using the total power consumption and compare the performance metric to a limit. Based on a result of the comparison, the controller may select a new power state for at least one of the processor clusters.

    Abstract: A system includes a power management unit that may monitor the power consumed by a processor including a plurality of processor core. The power management unit may throttle or reduce the operating frequency of the processor cores by applying a number of throttle events in response to determining that the plurality of cores is operating above a predetermined power threshold during a given monitoring cycle. The number of throttle events may be based upon a relative priority of each of the plurality of processor cores to one another and an amount that the processor is operating above the predetermined power threshold. The number of throttle events may correspond to a portion of a total number of throttle events, and which may be dynamically determined during operation based upon a proportionality constant and the difference between the total power consumed by the processor and a predetermined power threshold.

    Abstract: A method for determining power dissipation within a computer system is disclosed. A circuit block may receive a regulated voltage level on a power supply signal generated by a voltage regulator circuit. A power control circuit may measure a current drawn by the circuit block, and determine a real-time voltage level for the power supply signal using the current and based on a slope value and a zero-load voltage level. Additionally, power control circuit may determine a power dissipation for the circuit block using the current and the real-time voltage level, and adjust an operation parameter of the circuit block based on the power dissipation.
