Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an analog voltage regulator and an integrated circuit module. The analog voltage regulator generates a regulated output voltage. The integrated circuit module generates an analog sense voltage based on the regulated output voltage and includes integrated circuit dies, a first sensor, second sensors, and a digital voltage offset controller (DVOC). The first sensor generates a digital reference voltage based on an analog reference voltage. The second voltage sensors detect voltages at predetermined locations on the integrated circuit dies. The DVOC generates a digital offset voltage substantially equal to the difference between the digital reference voltage and the voltage detected by a selected one of the second voltage sensors. The regulated output voltage is based on an unregulated input voltage, the analog sense voltage, and the digital offset voltage.
