Patent ID: 8055927

Claim:
A design structure embodied in a non-transitory machine readable storage medium for at least one of designing, manufacturing, and testing a design, the design structure comprising: a system for monitoring a dynamic processor voltage, the system comprising: a voltage regulation module for supplying a voltage to a processor in relation to a VID generated by the processor; an analog to digital converter for converting an analog value of the supplied voltage to a digital value; a change detection module for detecting any change in the value of the VID during the analog to digital conversion; and a validation module for comparing the supplied voltage to a voltage expected in relation to the VID and computing a difference between the expected voltage and the supplied voltage, wherein the system is configured for accepting the digital value of the supplied voltage and the value of the VID during the analog to digital conversion unless a change in the value of the VID is detected during the analog to digital conversion.
