Abstract: A programmable delay line includes a pulse generator configured to generate a pulse in response to a transition of an input signal; an oscillator configured to generate a clock in response to the pulse; a counter configured to change a current count from a first value towards a second value in response to periods of the clock; and a gating device configured to output the transition of the input signal to generate an output signal in response to the current count reaching the second value. The delay of the input signal is a function of the difference between the first value and the second value. The delay line may be used in different applications, such as a dynamic variation monitor (DVM) configured to detect supply voltage droop. The DVM may be in an adaptive clock distribution (ACD) to reduce the clock frequency for a datapath in response to a droop.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed herein for adaptive power multiplexing with a power distribution network. In an example aspect, the integrated circuit includes a first power rail, a second power rail, and a load power rail. The integrated circuit also includes multiple power-multiplexer tiles and power-multiplexer control circuitry. The multiple power-multiplexer tiles are coupled in series in a chained arrangement and configured to jointly perform a power-multiplexing operation. Each power-multiplexer tile is configured to switch between coupling the load power rail to the first power rail and coupling the load power rail to the second power rail. The power-multiplexer control circuitry is configured to control a direction of current flow to prevent cross-conduction between the first power rail and the second power rail during the power-multiplexing operation.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to voltage-based current sensing. In accordance with one aspect, voltage-based current sensing may include performing a coarse calibration of a voltage based current sensor to determine a coarse offset; performing a fine calibration of the voltage based current sensor to determine a fine offset; performing a frequency calibration of the voltage based current sensor to determine a frequency offset; and performing a transfer function calibration of the voltage based current sensor to determine a sensor transfer function using one or more of the coarse offset, the fine offset and the frequency offset; and measuring a load current using the sensor transfer function.
