Abstract
A system and method for efficiently measuring on-die power supply voltage are described. In various implementations, an integrated circuit includes power supply monitors across a die of the integrated circuit. A power supply monitor receives a power supply voltage and generates a code indicating a value of the power supply voltage. A first ring oscillator receives the power supply voltage and a pulse used as an enable signal. A pulse generator of the power supply monitor takes into account the process, voltage and temperature (PVT) characteristics of the integrated circuit by including at least a second ring oscillator and a modulus counter that receives an output of the second ring oscillator. Therefore, the pulse generated by the pulse generator is PVT dependent and increases gain of the power supply monitor.
