On-chip power supply boost for voltage droop reduction |
摘要 |
A method and apparatus for maintaining a stable power supply voltage. The method comprises using a power supply to provide power at a power supply voltage to a plurality of semiconductor devices. The power supply voltage is nominally at an optimal power supply voltage. A fast increase in the current can cause a drop in the supply voltage, since the high rate of change in current is through the package inductance. The power supply voltage is monitored. Further, a supplemental higher voltage power supply is used to boost the power supply voltage to substantially the optimal power supply voltage if the power supply voltage decreases by a threshold value.
