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 28):
The method of  claim 27  wherein the bulk current source accepting the current control signal includes the bulk current source receiving a current control signal from the board level pre-EVR regulator responsive to the current being supplied to the EVR and the second voltage level.
