Abstract: In some examples, a voltage protection apparatus includes a circuit to compare an input voltage of a processor to a threshold voltage, and to provide a throttle signal to the processor if the input voltage of the processor droops below the threshold voltage. The processor input voltage can then be set to a lower voltage and the processor power can thus be lowered.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus to sense supply voltage have been disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a resistor having a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to a voltage supply and a ring oscillator sensor coupled between the second end of the resistor and ground, the ring oscillator sensor having an output coupled to a computational element. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.

Abstract: While firing a number of phases of a multi-phase switching voltage regulator in a sequence, a determination is made as to which one of the phases has the lowest phase current. Then, the next phase, to be fired in the sequence, is selected as the one that has been determined to have the lowest phase current. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses provide voltage regulation for a processor. Control or configuration parameters for a voltage regulator (VR) are provided digitally over a configuration bus to a VR controller. The parameters may be provided directly from a storage element, or via a processing element or processor core. Based in whole or in part on the parameters, the VR controller provides an output control signal to affect a power output from a power converter to the processing element. In one embodiment, the VR controller is integrated onto the same IC as the processing element.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus to regulate voltage supply have been disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a power converter block to generate an output voltage from an input voltage and a voltage regulator controller coupled to the power converter block to input at least one time-modulated signal to the power converter block, the at least one time-modulated signal having a duty cycle, the voltage regulator controller including a counter having an increment value substantially proportional to the input voltage, wherein the counter is used to adjust the duty cycle of the at least one time-modulated signal. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.
