This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250004021 titled 'DEVICE HAVING INTEGRATED CURRENT SENSORS
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are integrated current sensors and methods for sensing and measuring current consumption of electronic devices. the electronic device can comprise: a plurality of layers within a power delivery network of the device, each tile comprising circuitry for performing one or more functions; a plurality of probes, each probe having a pair of inputs connected to portions of one or more layers having a voltage drop, wherein each probe is configured to convert a respective differential voltage to a representative current passing through the one or more layers; a capacitor that is configured to integrate the respective currents passing through the one or more layers to an integrated voltage; and a converter that is configured to generate a measure of current consumed by the device based on the integrated voltage.
