Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a stacked semiconductor structure which includes a first voltage regulator (VR), external to a package, for supplying current to a compute die in the package. When the required current exceeds a threshold, an additional current source is activated. The additional current source can include a second VR, also external to the package, for supplying current to an integrated voltage regulator (IVR) in the package. The IVR performs voltage down conversion and current multiplication to output a portion of the required current above the threshold, while the output of the first VR is capped at the threshold.

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 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: Methods and apparatus relating to reducing switching noise and improving transient response in voltage regulators are described. In an embodiment, one or more pulses are inserted into an output waveform of a voltage regulator. The one or more pulses introduce multiple frequencies into the output waveform of the voltage regulator (e.g., to reduce acoustic noise). In another embodiment, the output voltage of a voltage regulator is modified in response to comparison of the output voltage with at least one of a plurality of threshold values. The plurality of threshold values includes an upper trigger point voltage value and a lower trigger point voltage value. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Generally, this disclosure describes an apparatus. The apparatus includes switch controller circuitry. The switch controller circuitry includes dead time logic circuitry to determine an estimated dead time interval between a turn off of a first switch and a turn on of a second switch. The first switch and the second switch are coupled at a switched node. The estimated dead time interval is determined based, at least in part, on a difference between an input voltage, Vin, and a switched voltage, Vsw, detected at the switched node just prior to turning off the first switch, a parasitic capacitance, Cpar, associated with the switched node and a maximum inductor current, IL,max. The difference between Vin and Vsw represents the maximum inductor current.
