Abstract

See full text

Presented systems and methods can facilitate efficient voltage sensing and regulation. In one embodiment, a presented multiple point voltage sensing system includes Multiple point voltage sensing. Multi-point sensing is the scheme where voltage feedback from Silicon to the voltage regulator is an average from multiple points on the die. In one embodiment, multi-point sensing is done by placing multiple sense points across the partition/silicon and merging the sense traces from each sense point with balanced routing. In one embodiment, a presented multiple point voltage sensing system includes Virtual VDD Sensing with guaranteed non-floating feedback. In one exemplary implementation, Virtual VDD Sensing with guaranteed non-floating feedback allows more accurate sensing when a component is power gated off by removing the sensing results associated with the component.
