    摘要: The circuits and methods described herein provide technical solutions for technical problems facing power driver circuits. To reduce or eliminate effects associated with a gate capacitance discharge current and inconsistent effective Vbias, the discharge process may be split into two phases. During a first phase, the transistor gate charge is drained into ground through a large path gate. The ground (GND) features a very low impedance, hence the resulting δVbias(t)|phase_1 is negligible even for high discharge currents. The transistor gate node voltage (Vgate) is constantly monitored, and the discharge process switches from the first phase to the second phase when Vgate transgresses a bias voltage threshold based on the target value of Vbias. To switch from the first phase to the second phase, the current path into GND is cut by switching its path gate to an OFF state, and an alternative path is enabled between transistor gate charge and Vbias.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a new DTS implementation, which employs the conventional Vbe/ΔVbe temperature dependent principles but substitutes a voltage-to-frequency (V/F) based ratio meter for the DAC based approach. This new approach can result in a more simplified circuit that may be more variation tolerant and can require less power and area.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a processor includes measurement logic to measure a usage associated with the processor. The processor also includes statistical logic to determine, based on a statistical procedure, whether to provide a permission to record an increase in usage responsive to an indication that the usage has increased by a defined amount. The processor also includes control logic to record the defined increase in usage in non-volatile memory responsive to receipt of the permission to record from the statistical logic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
