This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18925346 titled 'VOLTAGE DROOP DETECTION
Original Abstract Submitted
The present techniques relate to voltage droop detection and there is disclosed circuitry for detecting a voltage droop event, the circuitry configured to: receive a clock signal from a clock distribution network; obtain, from a storage, a first predetermined value, a second predetermined value and a predetermined threshold count; obtain one or more measurement values associated with a system voltage; when a first measurement value of the one or more measurement values reaches the first predetermined value, initiate a count of clock cycles until a subsequent measurement value of the one or more measurement values reaches the second predetermined value, the second predetermined value being different from the first predetermined value; and when the count of clock cycles is lower than the predetermined threshold count, cause a control entity to take mitigation action.
