Distributing on chip inductors for monolithic voltage regulation

An electronic assembly comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB);
• a package mounted to the PCB, the package comprising a die;
• and
• the die, comprising:
• an integrated voltage regulator comprising a plurality of pairs of inductors, wherein the pairs of inductors are not evenly distributed amongst different voltage domains, wherein a respective clock phase assigned to a first inductor of each of the pairs is different than a respective clock phase assigned to a second one of each of the pairs, and wherein the different voltage domains are enabled or disabled independently of the respective clock phases assigned to the pairs of inductors;
• and
• wherein the plurality of pairs of inductors are configured to distribute power to different respective portions of the die.

A method, comprising:

• detecting, by a controller for a plurality of pairs of inductors implemented on a die of processor as part of an integrated voltage regulator, a change in load on the processor, wherein the pairs of inductors are not evenly distributed amongst different voltage domains, wherein a respective clock phase assigned to a first inductor of each of the pairs is different than a respective clock phase assigned to a second one of each of the pairs and wherein the different voltage domains are enabled or disabled independently of the respective clock phases assigned to the pairs of inductors;
• responsive to detecting the change in the load:
• identifying, by the controller, a load state for the processor based on the detected change;
• and
• according to the identified load state:
• enabling one or more of the pairs to distribute power in addition to one or more currently enabled pairs;
• or
• disabling one or more currently enabled pairs to stop distribution of power.
