Abstract: A semiconductor device has a power rail that provides a rail voltage. The power rail is electrically coupled to a plurality of voltage regulators, and each voltage regulator includes an output interface electrically coupled to the power rail, and a first drive path and a second drive path both coupled to the output interface, and an intra-regulator balancing circuit. The first and second drive paths are coupled in parallel with each other, and operate during a first phase and a second phase, at an operating frequency, to provide a first path current and a second path current to the power rail, respectively. The intra-regulator balancing circuit senses the first and second path currents and controls a first duty cycle of the first phase and/or a second duty cycle of the second phase based on a difference of the first and second path currents.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of voltage regulators arranged in a field programmable array and a power array controller coupled to the plurality of voltage regulators. The power array controller is configured to control the plurality of voltage regulators to output power to a plurality of power rails. Each power rail provides a respective rail current at a respective rail voltage. The power array controller is configured to for each of the plurality of power rails, determine the respective rail current associated with the respective power rail, select a subset of voltage regulators according to at least the respective rail current, and enable the subset of voltage regulators to generate the respective rail voltage and provide the respective rail current collectively.

Abstract: A pipe elevator handle clamp for securing to pipe elevator handles to hold them in place comprises a top clamp section hingedly connected at one end to a bottom clamp section and releasably secured to each the bottom clamp section at the other end. The top clamp section and bottom clamp section define elongated structures that, when positioned together in the closed position, include two receiving holes for receiving and securing elevator handles. The hinge connection is defined by a hinge aperture that passes through both the top clamp section and bottom clamp section and has a hinge pin for providing the fixed axis of rotation therein. The device is secured around bull horns by hinging the top clamp section and bottom clamp section into the closed position and inserting a clamp fastener into a fastener channel that extends through the top clamp section into the bottom clamp section.
