DIGITAL DROOP DETECTOR, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND CALIBRATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18176371 titled 'DIGITAL DROOP DETECTOR, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND CALIBRATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a digital droop detector for detecting voltage level changes in a power supply voltage in response to a clock signal. The detector corrects for nonlinearity in the detected voltage level change and adjusts the delay magnitude of the clock signal based on the corrected code.
- Detects voltage level changes in a power supply voltage in response to a clock signal

Original Abstract Submitted
A digital droop detector for detecting whether a droop occurs in a power supply voltage, may include processing circuitry configured to, detect a voltage level change of a power supply voltage in response to a clock signal, the detecting the voltage level change including converting the detected voltage level change into a first code, correct at least one nonlinearity included in the first code, the correcting including converting the first code into a second code and a target range, and adjust a delay magnitude of the clock signal based on the second code.
