Abstract: A Computational Digital Low Dropout (CDLDO) regulator is described that computes a required solution for regulating an output supply as opposed to traditional feedback controllers. The CDLDO regulator is Moore's Law friendly in that it can scale with technology nodes. For example, CDLDO regulator of some embodiments uses a digital approach to voltage regulation, which is orders of magnitude faster than traditional digital LDOs and enables regulation at GHz speeds, making fast dynamic DVFS a reality. The CDLDO also autonomously tunes out the effects of process-voltage-temperature (PVT) and other non-idealities making the settling time totally variation tolerant.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a voltage regular (VR) formed from dies stacked on a package base layer. The VR can include a first part on a first die and a second part on a second die, where the different parts are selected based on characteristics of the respective die such as their voltage domains or technologies. In a capacitor-based VR, an input capacitor and switches subject to a relatively high input voltage can be provided in the first die, while a flying capacitor, output capacitor and switches subject to a relatively low output voltage can be provided in the second die. In an inductor-based VR, an inductor and one or more switches subject to a relatively high input voltage can be provided in the first die, while an output capacitor subject to a relatively low output voltage can be provided in the second die.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein concern operating a peak-delivered-power (PDP) controller. Operating a PDP includes calculating the new power output value from the output voltage value and the output current value, determining whether the new power output value is greater than the previous power output value to determine whether the voltage regulator is outputting a maximum power output, based on a determination that the new power output value is greater than the previous power output value, providing an instruction to a duty generator to increase a duty cycle of the voltage regulator, based on a determination that the new power output value is not greater than the previous power output value, providing an instruction to the duty generator to decrease the duty cycle of the voltage regulator, and replacing the previous power output value with the new power output value.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to techniques to integrate a capacitive voltage regulator in an integrated circuit (IC) package. The voltage regulator may provide a power supply to one or more load domains in the IC package. The transistors of the voltage regulator may be included on the same die as one or more of the load domains, another die, and/or an interposer of the IC package. The capacitors may be included in the same die as the transistors, in the interposer, in a package layer (e.g., package core), and/or in the same die as one or more of the load domains. Accordingly, the voltage regulator can be integrated close to the relevant load domains, delivering power with short current paths and thereby providing reduced input impedance, output impedance, and associated losses compared with prior techniques. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a voltage regular (VR) formed from die stacked on a package base layer. The die can include a load die stacked on a VR die, with an intermediate layer between the two dies. The VR can include an inductor or transformer as a charge transfer component formed between the dies. For example, the inductor or transformer windings can wind around the intermediate layer and include portions of top metal layers of the VR and load die, where the load die is inverted in the stack. The intermediate layer can be magnetic or non-magnetic for an inductor, or magnetic for a transformer. The VR can optionally be divided among two dies. The VR die may have a gallium nitride substrate to handle a higher input voltage, while the load die comprises a silicon substrate.

Abstract: A power supply architecture combines the benefits of a traditional single stage power delivery, when there are no additional power losses in the integrated VR with low VID and low CPU losses of FIVR (fully integrated voltage regulator) and D-LVR (digital linear voltage regulator). The D-LVR is not in series with the main power flow, but in parallel. By placing the digital-LVR in parallel to a primary VR (e.g., motherboard VR), the CPU VID is lowered and the processor core power consumption is lowered. The power supply architecture reduces the guard band for input power supply level, thereby reducing the overall power consumption because the motherboard VR specifications can be relaxed, saving cost and power. The power supply architecture drastically increases the CPU performance at a small extra cost for the silicon and low complexity of tuning.
