Abstract: A dynamic power meter circuit receives a set of clock signals. The clock signals are summed by a clock sum adder, thereby generating a clock sum value. A dynamic power meter output value is generated based at least in part on the clock sum value. In one particular example, a dynamic power meter circuit receives clock signals and from them generates a clock sum model sub-value. The dynamic power meter circuit also receives event signals, and from them generates an architectural event model sub-value. A corresponding pair of clock sum model sub-value and architectural event model sub-value are then ratiometrically combined, thereby generating a dynamic power meter output value. Due to the use of both event signals and clock signals, a stream of dynamic power meter output values is generated that more closely tracks actual dynamic power of a circuit being monitored.

Abstract: A chip type wire wound choke coil with a fixed shape and size provides different electrical characteristics by, with various standardized chip sizes, changing a diameter or a thickness of an insulation film of an insulated conductor of the choke coil, or changing a cross sectional shape of the insulated conductor of the choke coil, or changing a turn number of the choke coil with respect to turn numbers of both terminals, or changing the core material of the choke coil, or changing a height of the choke coil.

Abstract: A wire wound choke coil uses a metallic conductor to form a coil. The surface of the conductor is pre-plated with metallic material such as gold, silver, nickel, tin or others before covered with an insulation film on it so as to form a plated conductor enclosed with an insulated film. After forming a coil, its two terminals (electrodes) can be directly soldered to a circuit board without extra treatment after stripping off the outer film. The coil leads at two terminals are left a length slightly less than one turn so as to save the time for stripping longer insulation. After that a core with two chamfered or filleted ends, and whose outer diameter being slightly larger than the inner diameter of the coil is inserted longitudinally into the hollow cavity of the coil. By so, the core can be forcibly embraced by the resiliency of the coil without worry of parting accidentally. Besides, both end surfaces of the core are plated so that it can be easily soldered onto the circuit board.
