Abstract:
Apparatuses and Methods for dynamic adjustment of operating conditions of integrated circuits are provided. The method includes receiving, from a voltage reference module, an operating voltage of the integrated circuit, receiving a reference clock to be used as an operating frequency of the integrated circuit and is distributed to by the plurality of circuit blocks in the integrated circuit, measuring feedback path timing information of one or more circuit blocks in the plurality of circuit blocks, comparing the feedback path timing information of the one or more circuit blocks to the reference clock, determining timing margins of corresponding one or more feedback paths of the one or more circuit blocks based on the comparison, and generating a feedback for adjusting the operating voltage or the operating frequency of the integrated circuit based on the timing margins of the one or more feedback paths of the one or more circuit blocks.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of dynamically adjusting an operating conditions of an integrated circuit, comprising:\n receiving, from a voltage reference module, an operating voltage of the integrated circuit, wherein the operating voltage is distributed in a power grid that drives a plurality of circuit blocks of the integrated circuit; receiving, from a clock generator, a reference clock, wherein the reference clock is used as an operating frequency of the integrated circuit and is distributed to by the plurality of circuit blocks in the integrated circuit; measuring, by a circuit performance monitor, feedback path timing information of one or more circuit blocks in the plurality of circuit blocks; comparing, by a performance adjuster, the feedback path timing information of the one or more circuit blocks to the reference clock; determining timing margins of corresponding one or more feedback paths of the one or more circuit blocks based on the comparison; and generating, by the performance adjuster, a feedback for adjusting the operating voltage or the operating frequency of the integrated circuit based on the timing margins of the one or more feedback paths of the one or more circuit blocks.
