Systems and methods for current management for digital logic devices

A method of current management for a digital logic circuit, the method comprising:

• drawing power to drive a digital logic integrated circuit;
• performing one or more switching operations with the digital logic integrated circuit;
• and
• learning at least one bypass current setpoint based on a voltage powering the digital logic integrated circuit while performing the one or more switching operations.

A method of current management for a digital logic circuit, the method comprising:

• drawing power to drive a digital logic integrated circuit;
• determining a priori information about an impending current need of the digital logic integrated circuit;
• controlling a bypass current in parallel with the digital logic integrated circuit based on the a priori information, wherein the bypass current is controlled to reduce discontinuities in the current supplied by a power supply;
• and
• adjusting the bypass current to prevent the voltage of the digital logic integrated circuit from dropping below a reference voltage.

A current management system for a digital logic integrated circuit, the system comprising:

• means for controlling a bypass current, the means for controlling adapted to control the bypass current based on a priori information about an impending current need of a digital logic integrated circuit, wherein the bypass current is controlled to reduce discontinuities in a current supplied to the digital logic integrated circuit;
• means for drawing the bypass current, the means for drawing the bypass current connected electrically in parallel with the digital logic integrated circuit and responsive to the means for controlling;
• and
• means for limiting the bypass current to prevent a voltage powering the digital logic integrated circuit from dropping below a reference voltage, the means for limiting responsive to the means for controlling.
