Abstract:
An integrated circuit module including at least one semiconductor chip. The at least one semiconductor chip includes a plurality of voltage converters and switching circuitry for connecting an input terminal of one of the plurality of voltage converters to an input power supply rail and an output terminal of at least one of the plurality of voltage converters to an output supply rail. The switching circuitry is, dependent on at least one input signal, operable for selectively establishing for at least two of the plurality of voltage converters one out of the group including a parallel connection of the at least two voltage converters, a serially cascaded connection of the at least two voltage converters, and a stacked serial connection of the at least two voltage converters.
Abstract:
Provided are embodiments including methods, systems, and computer-program products for mitigating power supply noise using one or more current supplies. In some embodiments, power is provided to an integrated circuit, wherein a first circuit is coupled to the integrated circuit over a first path. A variation of the current level of the integrated circuit may be determined. Additional power from a second circuit is provided to the integrated circuit may be provided based at least in part on the determined variation, wherein the second circuit is coupled to the integrated circuit over a second path.
Abstract:
A computer program product or hardware description language (“HDL”) design structure in a computer-aided design system for generating a functional design model of an integrated circuitry structure including generating a functional representation of at least first and second regions of the integrated circuitry structure, generating a functional representation of an optical layer comprising optical waveguides, and generating a functional representation of a heat-conductive material for transferring heat from at least the second region through the optical layer to a heat sink.
Abstract:
Network power fault detection. At least one first network device is instructed to temporarily disconnect from a power supply path of a network, and at least one characteristic of the power supply path of the network is measured at a second network device connected to the network while the at least one first network device is temporarily disconnected from the network.
