Abstract
An apparatus system is provided which comprises: a first component to receive a first signal via a first delay circuit; a second component to receive a second signal via a second delay circuit; and one or more circuitries to tune a first delay of the first delay circuit and a second delay of the second delay circuit, based at least in part on monitoring of a voltage level.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a first component to receive, from a source, a first signal via a first delay circuit;
- a second component to receive, from the source, a second signal via a second delay circuit;
- first one or more circuitries to monitor a voltage level of the source supplying the first signal and the second signal respectively to the first component and the second component;
- and
- second one or more circuitries to tune a delay of the first delay circuit and a delay of the second delay circuit, based at least in part on the first one or more circuitries monitoring the voltage level of the source.
A system comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- a processor coupled to the memory;
- a first delay circuit to supply power from a power source to a first component after a first delay;
- a second delay circuit to supply power from the power source to a second component after a second delay;
- and
- one or more circuitries to:
- select one of first delay parameters and second delay parameters, and
- tune the first delay circuit and the second delay circuit in accordance with the selected delay parameters;
- and
- a wireless interface to allow the processor to communicate with another device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media configured to store instructions that, when executed by a processor included in an apparatus, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- identify first delay parameters;
- operate a plurality of delay circuits in accordance with the first delay parameters;
- monitor a first variation of a voltage level while the plurality of delay circuits are operated in accordance with the first delay parameters;
- identify second delay parameters;
- operate the plurality of delay circuits in accordance with the second delay parameters;
- monitor a second variation of the voltage level while the plurality of delay circuits are operated in accordance with the second delay parameters;
- select one of the first delay parameters and the second delay parameters, based at least in part on the first variation of the voltage level and the second variation of the voltage level;
- and
- tune the plurality of delay circuits in accordance with the selected delay parameters.
