METHOD OF MONITORING OPERATING PARAMETERS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18925432 titled 'METHOD OF MONITORING OPERATING PARAMETERS
Original Abstract Submitted
The present techniques relate to monitoring of operating parameters at a circuit and disclose a method comprising: receiving, at a delay monitor from a power delivery network, a voltage signal representative of the voltage level of the voltage; receiving, at the delay monitor from a clock distribution network, a clock signal representative of an output clock of the clock distribution network; periodically generating, at the delay monitor, a measurement value responsive to the voltage signal and the clock signal; adjusting, at the delay monitor, a threshold level for the measurement value from a first threshold to a second threshold, where the second threshold level corresponds to a target voltage level; providing, from the delay monitor to the clock distribution network, a non-violation signal responsive to the measurement value reaching the second threshold.
