INSTRUCTIONS (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for microelectronic power adjustment. In particular, the present invention relates to a stepped power conditioning system and its various components for operating power and transient suppression power to a microelectronic component. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The test electronic power conditioning system generally includes a power conditioner for adjusting the power to a microelectronic component such as a microprocessor, a memory device, and the like. The system may also include capacitors disposed adjacent to or packaged with the microprocessor, and the microprocessor provides additional charge during operation. Such a power conditioning system is such that a power regulator (e.g., a switching regulator such as a buck regulator) provides operating power to the microprocessor, and the capacitor provides charge to compensate for the microelectronic component Transient power requirements for operation. Such transients require timing that may occur, for example, when several transistors of the microprocessor switch in the same direction at approximately the same time, for example, when a portion of the device is powered off Drop to save power or make this device: Start. σ As the speed and integration of microprocessors increase, the use of power conditioning systems that only use decoupling capacitors to supplement four or only adjust transient power requirements will increase the number of problems. For example, the number and/or size of capacitors that are required to count transients is generally increased as the integration of the microprocessor increases. This electric grain has taken up a considerable amount of space on its package and may be quite

Description of invention (2) Expensive. In addition, the requirements (for example, one step, when this device is installed due to transient power regulation system transient power requirements into a power or a connection, in the microelectronics by the digital logic of the decay of the noise of the electronic components operating as micro-processing, this amplitude Set the capacitance within the power of the integrated condition. If the "shear component operating tolerance and the speed of the generator are caused by the sequence, and the speed and the waveform increase, the filter may not be adjusted or filtered" (the supply of the spike voltage is caused by the supply) The transient power component frequency tends to increase as the bit error transients and performance increase. Microelectronic components generally make 'become more sensitive when adding and subtracting. In a typical method, such a harsh wave is properly adjusted. The transient power event may be made or "bounced", or the instantaneous voltage level is applied, and the timing changes are in the microelectronic components. Therefore, it is desirable to improve a device that reacts in a micro-piece. Furthermore, although typical buck regulators are generally suitable for controlling power to some microprocessors, such regulators provide relatively high currents (e.g., greater than about 3) for relatively high speeds such as 'greater than about 100 kHz. 〇1 培) is not quite appropriate. One reason why buck regulators provide high thunder cooling at high speeds = the difficulty of this microprocessor is the assembly of this regulator: = two single-core operating voltages (Vcc) for the entire microprocessor. There is a concern that power is supplied from a single source and that this power is distributed to the microprocessor. For example, the $:, six-knife of this microprocessor can operate at different power levels more efficiently. For example, Bu and/or voltage level. In order to compensate for this different power, additional components and integration may be required as needed to increase the unbalance rate. Such additional components and integration may undesirably increase this

According to various embodiments of the invention, the sensing circuit and the output element operate in a non-linear manner to reduce the erroneous voltage during rapid fluctuations in the dynamic load current.

Description of invention (12) Measurement. In general, this is a less popular technique because it is less precise than the other techniques described herein. However, if the total parasitic inductances L1 and L2 are low enough, this technique can be used in connection with the present invention. The microprocessor ground (Vs s ) can also be detected at the 3 position, and the regulator 110 inputs GND sensing, 〇 GND sensing, and 0 GND, which respectively correspond to the sensing voltage of the micro-processing ground. , ground plane (gr 0 und plane), and 5 weeks of language grounding (regUiat〇r gr0Und). As explained, 'this sensing voltage can be compared in two ways. · This sensing voltage compares a fixed voltage (nVref,,) on the graph or compares the sensing voltage with one of the sensing voltages. After the revision. This application of chopper technology allows the regulator to minimize or reduce variations in voltage during regulation. Vref can be separated from GND sense, 0GND sense, or 0GND depending on the appropriate route for this sense circuit. Similarly, one of these three locations can be used as this ground reference to filter out the sense voltage. Referring to the sixth diagram, the change in current at the Vdd endpoint can be measured across any of L1, L2, or L1 + L2. For sensing across L丨, compare this voltage across Vdd sensing and PUP sensing. For sensing across L2, compare this voltage across the PUP sense with the PUP. For sensing across li + L2, compare this across Vdd to sense the voltage with PUP. Current variations at vdd can also be measured by current fluctuations through this ground pin, such as GND sensing, 0GND sensing, or 0GND. This measured current change is sensed across this vdd parasitic inductance and this GND inductance can also be added together. This technology

Title of invention (18). One way to mitigate this effect is to slow down the response of the switch so that the loop response is fast enough and the current offset does not reach the minimum and maximum boost because the control is rounded up. The pulse width of a one-cycle modulation, which is much shorter than the time required to completely exchange this. This greatly reduces variations in the output current and reduces this ripple and EM I. The main requirement for this is that the circuit providing this control circuit is fast enough so that the output switcher always switches in the correct direction. The amount of ripple in this output voltage is in the control circuit, which is set by gain, delay, and hysteresis. The ninth figure compares the analog closed-circuit ladders of different speed switches, showing the use of a low-speed switch (s 1 ow sw i tch ) (first picture), media speed switch (medium speed switch), and fast Switch ^ (fast switch) (bottom) to the change in the chop.

As illustrated, this uses multiple threshold sensing circuits, multiple output devices, and a non-linear regulator with controlled output switch response time (η ο η 1 inearregu 1 ator ), the error voltage, chopping and EM I are reduced in this power adjustment system.

This solution (copies) constitutes the flexibility of this decentralized regulator, and at the same time helps the high-speed signal of the main regulator to be programmable (pr〇gra_biii^, implementation) and vibration of the load transient event. Depending on many factors, the amplitude, duration, and frequency can vary widely, and many can be adjusted before an event.

INSTRUCTIONS (35) 1 Circuit 2200 includes comparators 2 3 0 1 , 2 302 , 23 03 , and 230 4 to detect overvoltages on four different thresholds. The four outputs, bottom ^, bottom 2, bottom 3, and bottom 4, are used to drive the current 汲 components in the output library - two of them. Similarly, comparators 2 3 〇 5, 2 3 〇 6, 2 3 〇 7, and 2308 detect undervoltages on four different thresholds. The four outputs, Top 1, Top 2, Top 3, and Top 4, can each be used to drive current source components in two of the output banks. This allows the generation of a multiple threshold conversion function (e.g., 'conversion function 21 00 '). Circuit 220 0 also includes amplifiers 23 〇 9 and 231 〇 to sense a di/dt transient by sensing the voltage across the parasitic inductance of the supply 1 §. The gain and compensation of this amplifier can be programmed to produce the appropriate threshold. When the sense voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, an SR latch 2311 is set and a di/dt command is sent to one or more output banks to produce a current pulse of a suitable magnitude. Since this current pulse continues to be as long as the pulse determination, a pulse extension circuit 2 3丨3 is used to record the reset time of the latch 2 3丨1 according to an appropriate timing. This is also suitable for preventing a fixed time limit from a previous event, preventing the d i / d t sensor from being restarted and preventing the compensation current from being overactive. According to an embodiment of the invention, the di/dt sensing and voltage sensing are independent operations. As such, it is desirable to avoid or reduce interactions between other sensors that may cause excessive activity or instability of the circuit. According to this, the example of the example is 'while the voltage mode is moving, by detecting the voltage mode.

如此一來,弟一十二圖内描述的邏輯,以第二十三圖 規定的方式控制了第二十圖内描述的輸出元件。如此導致 第二十四圖内說明之一補償電流之形式,其是為此負載内 電流瞬變所希望的補償而準備。依此實施例一觀點,由電 流源20 0 0 (或這類電流源之集合)提供的脈衝形式24〇〇包 含在動悲負載内超過此變動的一初始電流脈衝範圍2 4 〇 2且 包含於經一更長時間放電的一第二脈衝範圍2 4 〇 4。第一個 範圍2 4 0 2包含了超過瞬變電流要求的一第一激增電流 (boost CUrrent) 2406,且第二個範圍2404包含9 了 一次要 激增電流240 8,然以上所述實質上可能或可能不為固定不 變,但其低於此瞬變電流要求。 可瞭解到的是,第二十四圖的時間刻度可能隨著適宜 的應用而改變,以及脈衝的各種性質也僅僅是針對例示之 意圖。於一例子中,此延遲直到應用至第一個激增電流係 大約為1. 0奈米秒,此第一激增的寬度(範圍24〇2)近似2 奈米秒。第二個範圍2 4 0 4的寬度也將改變,且可能在 1 0 0-2 0 0奈米秒等級上。In this way, the logic described in Figure 12 controls the output elements described in Figure 20 in the manner specified in Figure 23. This results in a form of compensation current as illustrated in Figure 24, which is prepared for the desired compensation for current transients within the load. According to this embodiment, the pulse form 24 提供 provided by the current source 2020 (or a collection of such current sources) includes an initial current pulse range of 2 4 〇 2 that exceeds the variation within the turbulent load and includes A second pulse range of 2 4 〇 4 discharged over a longer period of time. The first range 2 4 0 2 includes a first boost current (boost CUrrent) 2406 exceeding the transient current requirement, and the second range 2404 contains 9 times the surge current 240, but the above is substantially possible Or it may not be fixed, but it is lower than this transient current requirement. It will be appreciated that the time scale of the twenty-fourth figure may vary with the appropriate application, and that the various properties of the pulse are merely intended to be illustrative. In one example, this delay is applied to the first surge current system of approximately 1.0 nanoseconds, and the width of this first surge (range 24 〇 2) is approximately 2 nanoseconds. The width of the second range 2 4 0 4 will also change, and may be on the 1 0 0-2 0 nanosecond level.

INSTRUCTIONS (37) This pulse shaping allows the initial current compensation to exceed the variation within the dynamic load, so recovery restores this supply voltage closer to its adjustment value and provides some additional tolerance until this primary regulator It compensates for changes in the dynamic load current. In addition, if the compensation current does not exactly match the variation in the dynamic load current, then returning the supply voltage to a center closer to its amplitude gives a tolerable more serious mismatch. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a system such as system 1 includes a circuit in which a first region 2402 of current pulses 2400 is an open circuit response to this transient current requirement ( Open-loop response) (sensed, for example, across a parasitic inductance via a di/dt value), and wherein the current pulse 24 〇〇 the second region 2 4 0 4 is a pair of closed loops required for this transient current The result of the response (via sensing, such as across this load via this voltage).

INSTRUCTIONS (39) It should also be noted that since component 2 4 5 1 is responsible for transmitting most of the output current, component 245 constitutes an important area of the entire circuit. The combination of d i / d t sensing and voltage control logic while sharing this output component allows the output switching performance to be optimized without incurring significant increases in the grain range. Through circuit 2500, current source 2455 can be controlled to improve the shaping of the output current, as shown in Figure 25.

The circuit 2 3 5 0 can be modified by the execution of the current source 2 4 5 5 as follows. PFET 25 04 provides a current source 245 5 - direct current (DC) current. This current is set by the reference current 汲' set by NPN2507 and degeneration 2508 and then mirrored by PFET2 05. When the input 2502 is switched, the current through 250 is allowed to flow through N p n 2 4 5 and the output element 2 4 5 1 is turned on. At the same time, the 'differential pair 2 506 is switched, and the current in the PFET mirror 2 50 5 is turned off. The voltage at this gate is maintained by capacitor 2511. As a result, the current flowing through 2 50 4 continues to flow until the capacitor 2 5 11 is discharged. This limits the amount of current flowing through 25 04 and turns off the current flowing through output element 245 1 . By correcting the gate capacitance of PFET 25〇5 through programmable capacitor array 2512,

INSTRUCTIONS (40) This correction is based on the output current of the output element 24 5 1 and referring to the twenty-second diagram. The most sensitive comparators 2304 and 23 05 are output: ' can be a primary regulator (eg , regulator 1〇2) is used as an activity = device (ATR or flash control). The comparator output is a ::旎, which informs its auxiliary regulator that it is the primary regulator of operation, and that the dynamics that have been generated in the current are increased or decreased. The use of the primary regulator control command from the auxiliary regulator reduces the transient event response time of this primary regulator and reduces the auxiliary regulator thermal load and charge well consumption. Pulse extension circuits 2316 and 2317 are used to filter out these signals to limit high frequency content within the interface. The twenty-seventh and twenty-eighthth drawings illustrate the operation of a power adjustment system, such as system 100. In particular, the twenty-seventh figure illustrates the result of combining a high-intensity di/dt surge current 270 2 with a voltage sense surge current 27 04 . As shown, the total supply current 2706 is stable in a steady state of a corresponding di/dt surge current 27 02 , voltage sense surge current 2 7 0 4 , and the sum of the main regulator current 2 71 〇 Before the value, the load current 2708 will be exceeded at any time. However, in many applications, excessive voltage surge is not an important consideration if the reliability of the components that make up the load is not compromised. However, insufficient voltage surges may result in bit errors (b i t e r r 〇 r ). Therefore, the preferred embodiment of the present invention allows the d丨/dt sensing surge current to have a magnitude 疋 between the maximum differential current that the load can obtain between about 70% and 1%, and a coincident instantaneous dynamic current subtraction.

INSTRUCTIONS (41) Sensing the surge current. The actual magnitude of this surge current can be proportional to the desired transient amplitude or can be calculated based on any convenient specification. The aforementioned d i /d t sensing adjustment is capable of controlling the extremely high frequency response. However, an erroneous output voltage dV can still exist. In one embodiment of the invention, the handover system (h a n d 〇 f f s y s t e m ) causes the interruption rate of the d i / d t sense surge current to match the startup rate of the primary regulator. Therefore, a more desirable response is provided and the error voltage dV is lowered.
