TRANSIENT LOAD MANAGEMENT: abstract simplified (17715552)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17715552 Titled 'TRANSIENT LOAD MANAGEMENT'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system that includes sensing circuitry and clock management circuitry. The sensing circuitry detects voltage, current, and/or activity in a system-on-chip (SoC) and determines if it meets a certain threshold. The clock management circuitry generates clocking signals for the SoC and adjusts the frequency of these signals based on the detected voltage, current, and/or activity meeting the threshold. This adjustment helps to reduce the power consumed by the SoC.

Original Abstract Submitted

Sensing circuitry and clock management circuitry provide transient load management. The sensing circuitry detects a voltage, current, and/or activity associated with a system-on-chip (SoC) and determines whether the detected voltage, current, and/or activity meets a threshold. The clock management circuitry generates clocking signals for the SoC and alters a frequency of the generated clocking signals in response to the detected voltage, current, and/or activity meeting the threshold to alter an amount of power consumed by the SoC.
