Abstract
An approach for power supply noise mitigation on a processor is provided. In one aspect, the approach comprises a central computing unit operatively coupled to the processor to execute program operations. The approach further comprises a calibration circuit adapted to determine a first threshold on the processor to be used for comparison performed dynamically through the use of a detection circuit. A detection circuit adapted to dynamically monitor system operation of the processor and indicate if the first threshold is violated and a counting circuit adapted to prevent voltage from drooping if one or more voltage sensing measurements violates the first threshold are also provided.
