Abstract:
A system and method are provided for supplying bulk current to a voltage regulator embedded on a system-on-chip (SoC). An embedded voltage regulator (EVR) supplies a regulated voltage to a functional unit, the current demand is determined, and a current control signal is generated. An off-SoC bulk current source accepts the current control signal and supplies auxiliary (bulk) current to the functional unit in response to the current control signal. For example, in a first period of time a dynamic increase demand for a first current. Initially the EVR supplies the first current and creates an increase in SoC thermal loading. Subsequently, the EVR supplies a current less than the first current while the bulk current source supplies the bulk of the current. As a result, the bulk current source creates an off-SoC thermal load.

Claim (Index 9):
The CEVR of  claim 8  wherein the board level pre-EVR regulator further comprises a feedback output connected to the bulk current source control input to supply the current control signal responsive to the current being supplied to the maintenance power interface and the second voltage level.
