Dynamic multiphase voltage regulator for rapid voltage switching

Abstract

In an aspect, the present disclosure provides an example computing system. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a deterministic processor. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a compiler configured to translate a program into a deterministic schedule including a plurality of operations defined for implementation on the deterministic processor. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a voltage regulator network (VRN) including a plurality of phases. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) controller configured to obtain the deterministic schedule from the compiler. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) controller configured to determine a voltage signal to be used in generating a clock signal for the deterministic processor. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) controller configured to determine a control signal to be applied to the VRN based on the voltage signal. In some implementations, the example computing system includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) controller configured to control the VRN using the control signal to deliver the voltage signal to the deterministic processor.
