Abstract: Systems and methods for power distribution network (PDN) droop/overshoot mitigation are provided. In one embodiment, a method for activating one or more processors comprises reducing a frequency of a clock signal from a first clock frequency to a second clock frequency, wherein the clock signal is output to a plurality of processors including the one or more processors. The method also comprises activating the one or more processors after the frequency of the clock signal is reduced, and increasing the clock signal from the second clock frequency to the first clock frequency after the one or more processors are activated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a frequency of a clock signal by selectively swallowing pulses in the clock signal are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for adjusting a frequency of a clock signal comprises receiving the clock signal, and swallowing pulses in the clock signal according to a repeating clock-swallowing pattern, wherein the pattern is defined by a sequence of numbers.

Abstract: A method to prevent a malicious attack on CPU subsystem (CPUSS) hardware is described. The method includes auto-calibrating tunable delay elements of a dynamic variation monitor (DVM) using an auto-calibration value computed in response to each detected change of a clock frequency (Fclk)/supply voltage (Vdd) of the CPUSS hardware. The method also includes comparing the auto-calibration value with a threshold reference calibration value to determine whether the malicious attack is detected. The method further includes forcing a safe clock frequency (Fclk)/safe supply voltage (Vdd) to the CPUSS hardware when the malicious attack is detected.

Abstract: A clock signal generator including a fractional clock divider and a frequency ramp control circuit. The fractional clock divider is configured to generate an output clock signal with a frequency being a divider ratio multiplied by a frequency of an input clock signal. The frequency ramp control circuit is configured to provide the fractional clock divider a set of divider ratios so that the frequency of the output clock signal is ramped in steps from a current frequency to a target frequency. The frequency ramp control circuit is configured to produce frequency change steps each having substantially the same duration. The frequency ramp control circuit is also configured to provide the set of divider ratios such as a first portion of the frequency ramp is performed using coarse frequency changes and a second portion of the ramp is performed using at least one fine frequency change.

Abstract: Dynamic power supply voltage adjustment in a computing device may involve two stages. In a first stage, a first method for adjusting a power supply voltage may be disabled. While the first method remains disabled, a request to adjust the power supply voltage from an initial value to a target value using a second method may be received. The second method may be initiated in response to the request if a time interval has elapsed since a previous request to adjust the power supply voltage. In a second stage, the first method may be enabled when it has been determined that the power supply voltage has reached the target value.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure related to a method of phase extension using a delay circuit including delay devices coupled in series. The method includes receiving a clock signal, generating multiple delayed versions of the clock signal, wherein each of the delayed versions of the clock signal is delayed by a different number of the delay devices, and combining high phases or low phases of the delayed versions of the clock signal to obtain a combined clock signal.
