  • Patent number: 8732495
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems, apparatuses, and methods for dynamic frequency and voltage control of components used in a computer system. A system includes a processor voltage regulator and a system clock generator directly operably with each other. The processor voltage regulator provides a core voltage signal to a processor, and is configured to detect a present processor load state of the processor. The system clock generator is for providing a system clock signal to the processor. At least one of the processor voltage regulator or the system clock generator is further configured determine a desired frequency of the system clock signal responsive to the present processor load state, and determine a voltage level for the core voltage signal suitably paired with the desired frequency for proper operation of the processor at the desired frequency. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided.

  • Patent number: 8638010
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing backup power to a load are disclosed. A power converter may comprise a capacitor array comprising a plurality of capacitors and configured to store a charge from an input during a charge mode of operation and provide a charge to an output during a discharge mode of operation. Further, the power converter may comprise a controller configured to selectively couple the capacitor array to the input during a portion of the charge mode of operation and selectively couple the capacitor array to the output during a portion of the discharge mode of operation.
