Abstract: The method and systems described herein provide for identifying and mitigating undesirable power or voltage fluctuations in regions of a semiconductor device. For example, embodiments include detecting a region, such as an individual processor, of a processor chip is exhibiting a reduced power draw and a resulting localized voltage spike (e.g., a spike that exceeds Vmax) that would accelerate overall device end-of-life (EOL). The described systems respond by activating circuits or current generators located in the given region to draw additional power via a protective current. The protective current lowers the local voltages spikes back to within some pre-specified range (e.g., below a Vmax). The resulting reduction in the time above Vmax in testing reduces the number of devices that will need to be discarded due to Vmax violations as well as increases the expected reliability and lifespan of the device in operation.

More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method based on a mass balance analysis of a fuel system to determine how much mass needs to be pumped to maintain or achieve a certain pressure for the engine. In some embodiments, the method analyzes how much mass can be pumped by each pumping event based on current engine conditions. The analysis is performed over the smallest repeatable pump events and cylinder events cycle, or “subcycle,” based on the number of pump events and cylinder events for a given engine configuration.
