  • Detecting power supply sag in an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 10539594
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided with a voltage sag detector (VSD) within the integrated circuit package. The VSD is coupled to a voltage reference and to the power distribution bus within the integrated circuit. The VSD has an output for indicating when a voltage level on the power distribution bus sags below a voltage level provided by the voltage reference.
    Type: Grant

  • Providing Information During Different Stages of a Design Cycle
    Publication number: 20140258820
    Abstract: Datasheets provide a summary of information about a complex component. A static datasheet provided by a website may be augmented to provide a static design assistance link within the displayed data sheet page. A set of information source links may be provided for display to the user of the website in response to activation of the design assistance link by the user. The plurality of information source links may each contain a link to a different portion of a database in the server containing design information relevant to using the component in a system design. A selected portion of design information may be provided from the database for display to the user in response to activation of one of the plurality of information source links by the user of the website.
