Abstract:
A semiconductor package includes an external power supply node, a current monitoring node, and a plurality of semiconductor dies. Each semiconductor die of the plurality of semiconductor dies includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is configured to supply a first operating current to that semiconductor die from the external power supply node. The second circuit is configured to measure the first operating current and output the measured first operating current to the current monitoring node. The measured first operating current from each semiconductor die of the plurality of semiconductor dies is summed on the current monitoring node.
