IPC: G05F1/10
Filed: 2022-11-11
Abstract: A digitally selectable power gate with thermometer-encoded upper bits may provide solutions for problems digital power gate-based regulators. These solutions may include the use of a fully binary power gate, either in structure or by local decoding of binary control signal to an addressable row-based power gate. This provides improved performance over a row-based code rotation, which is intended to avoid instantaneous overheating of power gate devices but may not mitigate aging effects. Another solution includes ganging a primary DLVR and one or more secondaries. The primary DLVR may include a voltage sense and active controller, which may forward its PG code to secondary instances. Therm and current sensor rotation may be performed locally at the secondaries and a current monitor data may be rolled up from all ganged DLVRs.

A multi-branch architecture makes use of an attention branch and a main branch. The main branch includes a dense block followed by a segmentation head, and is configured to consider a single input slice of the imaging data. This main branch is able to segment larger and easier-to-classify targets.
