V. INSTRUCTIONS (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for microelectronic power adjustment. In particular, the present invention relates to a stepped power conditioning system and its various components for operating power and transient suppression power to a microelectronic component. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The test electronic power conditioning system generally includes a power conditioner for adjusting the power to a microelectronic component such as a microprocessor, a memory device, and the like. The system may also include capacitors disposed adjacent to or packaged with the microprocessor, and the microprocessor provides additional charge during operation. Such a power conditioning system is such that a power regulator (e.g., a switching regulator such as a buck regulator) provides operating power to the microprocessor, and the capacitor provides charge to compensate for the microelectronic component Transient power requirements for operation. Such transients require timing that may occur, for example, when several transistors of the microprocessor switch in the same direction at approximately the same time, for example, when a portion of the device is powered off Drop to save power or make this device: Start. σ As the speed and integration of microprocessors increase, the use of power conditioning systems that only use decoupling capacitors to supplement four or only adjust transient power requirements will increase the number of problems. For example, the number and/or size of capacitors that are required to count transients is generally increased as the integration of the microprocessor increases. This electric grain has taken up a considerable amount of space on its package and may be quite

In addition, the requirements (for example, one step, when this device is installed due to transient power regulation system transient power requirements into a power or a connection, in the microelectronics by the digital logic of the decay of the noise of the electronic components operating as micro-processing, this amplitude Set the capacitance within the power of the integrated condition. If the "shear component operating tolerance and the speed of the generator are caused by the sequence, and the speed and the waveform increase, the filter may not be adjusted or filtered" (the supply of the spike voltage is caused by the supply) The transient power component frequency tends to increase as the bit error transients and performance increase. Microelectronic components generally make 'become more sensitive when adding and subtracting. In a typical method, such a harsh wave is properly adjusted. The transient power event may be made or "bounced", or the instantaneous voltage level is applied, and the timing changes are in the microelectronic components. Therefore, it is desirable to improve a device that reacts in a micro-piece. Furthermore, although typical buck regulators are generally suitable for controlling power to some microprocessors, such regulators provide relatively high currents (e.g., greater than about 3) for relatively high speeds such as 'greater than about 100 kHz. 〇1 培) is not quite appropriate. One reason why buck regulators provide high thunder cooling at high speeds = the difficulty of this microprocessor is the assembly of this regulator: = two single-core operating voltages (Vcc) for the entire microprocessor. There is a concern that power is supplied from a single source and that this power is distributed to the microprocessor. For example, the $:, six-knife of this microprocessor can operate at different power levels more efficiently. For example, Bu and/or voltage level. In order to compensate for this different power, additional components and integration may be required as needed to increase the unbalance rate. Such additional components and integration may undesirably increase this

Generally, the power circuits 13〇2 and 13〇4 are selected based on the source voltage of the control signal generated by each control circuit and a ground potential, and the inductors 1 3 1 2, 1 3 1 4 are selected. During a transient load event, any number of output inductors may be coupled at the same time, either the voltage source or the ground potential, so the load is required.

It should be noted that one or more regulators are used to generate a signal that is transmitted to the controller 丨300. ° For the response of this transient detection signal, the controller 丨3 〇 8 performs a pre-active transient response. More specifically, controller 13A8 drives power circuit 1304 to begin implementing a transient response step, as described further below. As mentioned above, in one embodiment of the invention, the power circuit 13〇4 detects transient activity later than the transient regulator 136. In accordance with one embodiment and embodiment of the present invention, when power circuit 1 304 detects transient activity, power circuit ΐ3〇Λ4 is driven by controller 1 30 8 to react to the transient. Thus, after the function 1 304 detects the transient activity, the circuit 1304 generates and transmits its own ATRH and ATRL signals to the controller 1 30 8 along the line.

Thus, a comparator is preferred; two: a near-center of the load 128, or a region near its most active, is given multiple copies from a single design. This solution (copies) constitutes the flexibility of this decentralized regulator, and at the same time helps the high-speed signal of the main regulator to be programmable (pr〇gra_biii^, implementation) and vibration of the load transient event. Depending on many factors, the amplitude, duration, and frequency can vary widely, and many can be adjusted before an event.

It should be noted that the additional auxiliary regulator 1 8 0 2, which has a similar structure to the auxiliary regulator 丨8 〇 2, may also be present. One or more of these monitoring functions may be formed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. It is the use of a separate circuit, such as a part of a microprocessor. Figure 19 illustrates an exemplary block diagram of an auxiliary regulator 1 90 0 that includes temperature monitoring, electrical well monitoring, and the ability to communicate signals from transient responses of both a primary regulator and an auxiliary regulator. .

According to the auxiliary regulator described in Figure 19, di /dt sensing is only used for high-side compensation (when current is supplied to suppress a transient event), and voltage comparison is used for high and low Compensation on both sides. Preferably, the voltage comparator has a "dead zone", a hysteretic comparator, and an asymmetric threshold optimized for undervoltage, as described above.

Regulatory 2 0 0 0 contains multiple individual output banks (output bank) 2 0 0 2-2 0 1 6, for example, through a control of crying # f盥 The description of the twenty-second diagram is as follows). The selection is used in each of the two (the number of output libraries allows the intensity of this reaction to be modified to match this dynamic load characteristic. The conversion function 21 00 of the first four banks of the regulator 200 0 is illustrated in the twenty-first figure. The threshold for the startup of the output current bank must be inconsistent or symmetrical for the present invention to function properly. For use with the regulator described in FIG. 10, the twenty-second diagram illustrates the use of an injector. The control logic circuit (in:ject〇r control logic circuit) 22 00. According to the circuit, the compensation current provided by the regulator 200 is monitored by the load voltage, di / dt transient across the power supply. The inductance (for example, across this parasitic inductance) or both. Each library or group of libraries 2002-2016 can be controlled by one or more signals (such as the bottom 4, bottom 3, bottom 2 of the signal in the twenty-second figure) The bottom 1, top 1, top 2, top 3, top 4 are illustrated to be activated to obtain a desired output current. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a twenty-third figure illustrates the use of one or more banks 2002- 2016 shared current switcher 2300.

Page 39 1258065 V. INSTRUCTIONS (35) 1 Circuit 2200 includes comparators 2 3 0 1 , 2 302 , 23 03 , and 230 4 to detect overvoltages on four different thresholds. The four outputs, bottom ^, bottom 2, bottom 3, and bottom 4, are used to drive the current 汲 components in the output library - two of them. Similarly, comparators 2 3 〇 5, 2 3 〇 6, 2 3 〇 7, and 2308 detect undervoltages on four different thresholds. The four outputs, Top 1, Top 2, Top 3, and Top 4, can each be used to drive current source components in two of the output banks. This allows the generation of a multiple threshold conversion function (e.g., 'conversion function 21 00 '). Circuit 220 0 also includes amplifiers 23 〇 9 and 231 〇 to sense a di/dt transient by sensing the voltage across the parasitic inductance of the supply 1 §. The gain and compensation of this amplifier can be programmed to produce the appropriate threshold. When the sense voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, an SR latch 2311 is set and a di/dt command is sent to one or more output banks to produce a current pulse of a suitable magnitude. Since this current pulse continues to be as long as the pulse determination, a pulse extension circuit 2 3丨3 is used to record the reset time of the latch 2 3丨1 according to an appropriate timing. This is also suitable for preventing a fixed time limit from a previous event, preventing the d i / d t sensor from being restarted and preventing the compensation current from being overactive. According to an embodiment of the invention, the di/dt sensing and voltage sensing are independent operations. As such, it is desirable to avoid or reduce interactions between other sensors that may cause excessive activity or instability of the circuit. According to this, the example of the example is 'while the voltage mode is moving, by detecting the voltage mode.

1258065 V. INSTRUCTIONS (36) Activity, monitoring the two most sensitive comparators, and invalidating the d丨/d t sensor to alleviate excessive activity. The comparator output and its delayed form from delays 2914 and 2315 are used to disable the SR flash lock through the 〇R gate 2312.

In this way, the logic described in Figure 12 controls the output elements described in Figure 20 in the manner specified in Figure 23. This results in a form of compensation current as illustrated in Figure 24, which is prepared for the desired compensation for current transients within the load. According to this embodiment, the pulse form 24 提供 provided by the current source 2020 (or a collection of such current sources) includes an initial current pulse range of 2 4 〇 2 that exceeds the variation within the turbulent load and includes A second pulse range of 2 4 〇 4 discharged over a longer period of time. The first range 2 4 0 2 includes a first boost current (boost CUrrent) 2406 exceeding the transient current requirement, and the second range 2404 contains 9 times the surge current 240, but the above is substantially possible Or it may not be fixed, but it is lower than this transient current requirement. It will be appreciated that the time scale of the twenty-fourth figure may vary with the appropriate application, and that the various properties of the pulse are merely intended to be illustrative. In one example, this delay is applied to the first surge current system of approximately 1.0 nanoseconds, and the width of this first surge (range 24 〇 2) is approximately 2 nanoseconds. The width of the second range 2 4 0 4 will also change, and may be on the 1 0 0-2 0 nanosecond level.

1258065 V. INSTRUCTIONS (37) This pulse shaping allows the initial current compensation to exceed the variation within the dynamic load, so recovery restores this supply voltage closer to its adjustment value and provides some additional tolerance until this primary regulator It compensates for changes in the dynamic load current. In addition, if the compensation current does not exactly match the variation in the dynamic load current, then returning the supply voltage to a center closer to its amplitude gives a tolerable more serious mismatch. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a system such as system 1 includes a circuit in which a first region 2402 of current pulses 2400 is an open circuit response to this transient current requirement ( Open-loop response) (sensed, for example, across a parasitic inductance via a di/dt value), and wherein the current pulse 24 〇〇 the second region 2 4 0 4 is a pair of closed loops required for this transient current The result of the response (via sensing, such as across this load via this voltage). The diagram 'a shared current switch 2 3 5 0 provides an output current provided by reference to the second largest output τ 2 2 1 1 . Element 245 1 can be separated from two = on and off. In accordance with this exemplary embodiment, the high speed path is from the cH/dt sensing circuit and the vehicle f is input: 24=3.

INSTRUCTIONS (38) The differential pair 2454 takes current from the source ' (source) 2455 ; & and prevents the diodes connected to the transistors 2456 and 2 4 5 7 from turning on. The current source 2 4 6 0 provides a minimum idle current through the diode 2 4 5 9 ' that maintains the output element 2 4 5 1 at the open edge of the diode. Capacitor 24 62 helps minimize noise on the current through output element 245 1 . The current source 2 4 6 5 provides some bias currents to turn on the diode-connected transistors 246 3 and 246 4 and allows the clamping element ((: 1311^(16¥:^6)2466 at the output) The pin (〇1^ pin) 2450 maintains a voltage at the base of 2458 that exceeds this voltage by approximately _Vbe. When the di/dt sensing circuit is activated, this output drives the differential pair 24 54 such that the source is 2455. The current activates component 2 458 and provides current gain and drive output component 24 51. Resistor 24 6 1 provides isolation from filter capacitor 2462. This allows for a very fast, high skip rate output current from input 2452 The signal is generated. ~ The same 'differential pair 2 4 6 7 draws current from source 2 4 6 8 , while the diodes connected to the transistors 24 69 and 2 470 do not turn on. The clamp element 24 73 is at the output The pin at 2450 keeps the voltage at the base of 2471 above this voltage -

Vbe. When the voltage comparator is activated, this input drives the differential pair 2467 to provide the current gain and drive the output element 2451 via the current-on element 24 471 of source 2468. Capacitor 24 72 controls the transition time in this mode of operation. This allows a slower transition in the output current from the input 24 53

Page 43 1258065 V. INSTRUCTIONS (39) It should also be noted that since component 2 4 5 1 is responsible for transmitting most of the output current, component 245 constitutes an important area of the entire circuit. The combination of d i / d t sensing and voltage control logic while sharing this output component allows the output switching performance to be optimized without incurring significant increases in the grain range. Through circuit 2500, current source 2455 can be controlled to improve the shaping of the output current, as shown in Figure 25.

The circuit 2 3 5 0 can be modified by the execution of the current source 2 4 5 5 as follows. PFET 25 04 provides a current source 245 5 - direct current (DC) current. This current is set by the reference current 汲' set by NPN2507 and degeneration 2508 and then mirrored by PFET2 05. When the input 2502 is switched, the current through 250 is allowed to flow through N p n 2 4 5 and the output element 2 4 5 1 is turned on. At the same time, the 'differential pair 2 506 is switched, and the current in the PFET mirror 2 50 5 is turned off. The voltage at this gate is maintained by capacitor 2511. As a result, the current flowing through 2 50 4 continues to flow until the capacitor 2 5 11 is discharged. This limits the amount of current flowing through 25 04 and turns off the current flowing through output element 245 1 . By correcting the gate capacitance of PFET 25〇5 through programmable capacitor array 2512,

Page 44 1258065 V. INSTRUCTIONS (40) This correction is based on the output current of the output element 24 5 1 and referring to the twenty-second diagram. The most sensitive comparators 2304 and 23 05 are output: ' can be a primary regulator (eg , regulator 1〇2) is used as an activity = device (ATR or flash control). The comparator output is a ::旎, which informs its auxiliary regulator that it is the primary regulator of operation, and that the dynamics that have been generated in the current are increased or decreased. The use of the primary regulator control command from the auxiliary regulator reduces the transient event response time of this primary regulator and reduces the auxiliary regulator thermal load and charge well consumption. Pulse extension circuits 2316 and 2317 are used to filter out these signals to limit high frequency content within the interface. The twenty-seventh and twenty-eighthth drawings illustrate the operation of a power adjustment system, such as system 100. In particular, the twenty-seventh figure illustrates the result of combining a high-intensity di/dt surge current 270 2 with a voltage sense surge current 27 04 . As shown, the total supply current 2706 is stable in a steady state of a corresponding di/dt surge current 27 02 , voltage sense surge current 2 7 0 4 , and the sum of the main regulator current 2 71 〇 Before the value, the load current 2708 will be exceeded at any time. However, in many applications, excessive voltage surge is not an important consideration if the reliability of the components that make up the load is not compromised. However, insufficient voltage surges may result in bit errors (b i t e r r 〇 r ). Therefore, the preferred embodiment of the present invention allows the d丨/dt sensing surge current to have a magnitude 疋 between the maximum differential current that the load can obtain between about 70% and 1%, and a coincident instantaneous dynamic current subtraction.

The actual magnitude of this surge current can be proportional to the desired transient amplitude or can be calculated based on any convenient specification. The aforementioned d i /d t sensing adjustment is capable of controlling the extremely high frequency response. However, an erroneous output voltage dV can still exist.
