Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to reducing clock-ungating induced voltage droop by determining a maximum frequency value associated with an output clock waveform; modulating a clock frequency of the output clock waveform for a first time duration based on a first programmable mask pattern or a first Boolean function; and determining if either the first programmable mask pattern or the first Boolean function should be changed. In accordance with one aspect, a voltage droop mitigation circuit includes a control logic for receiving an input clock waveform and a clock enable signal waveform and for outputting a gated clock enable signal waveform; a latch coupled to the control logic, the latch for holding a state of the gated clock enable signal waveform and a AND gate coupled to the latch, the AND gate for outputting an output clock waveform.

Abstract: A temperature sensor position offset error correction power implementation include monitors (e.g., digital power monitor/meter) to measure activity on a die, and uses the activity measurements to compute real-time temperature offsets by converting activity to power, which can be used in a simplified compact thermal model. A system on chip including the die receives a temperature measurement of a region of the system on chip from a sensor. Power consumed by the region is estimated based on the measured activity, and temperature measurement of the system on chip is adjusted based on the estimated power.
