Patent number: 11811472Abstract: Systems and methods for improving power efficiency of electronic systems are disclosed. An intelligent voltage regulator module (VRM) can self-regulate the output power provided to one or more components of an electronic system. For example, output voltage to a component can be increased when more computational power is needed or lowered when appropriate. The intelligent VRM can regulate the output power, for instance, based on one or more of usage or activity of the component. In some cases, the intelligent VRM can independently regulate the output power without input from a host device or override one or more output power parameters. Adjustment of the output power can be performed using machine learning (ML).Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Epirus, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Antonio Pineda, Jeffery Jay Logan, Harry Bourne Marr, Jr., Grant Lovely Verstandig
