Abstract:
A system for controlling gatings of a multi-core processor, the system includes a pulse width modulation generator for generating a control square wave; and a phase shifter for shifting a phase of the control square wave to generate control square waves with different phases, and respectively inputting the control square waves with the different phases to a gating of each of multiple processing engines in the multi-core processor. A multi-core processor is provided that includes multiple processing engines. Each processing engine includes a gating, and a system for controlling the gating. Accordingly, in the multi-core processor, the load to be processed in a certain period of a working cycle can be averaged to be processed in a longer period of the working cycle. Consequently, current noise and voltage noise and temperature growth due to the load change can be reduced.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A mobile computing device comprising a display panel and a home button, the display panel being disposed on the exterior front surface and the home button being disposed on the exterior back surface of the mobile computing device. The front surface may be free of any additional user Input/Output devices apart from the display panel. The mobile computing device may further comprise an accelerometer and a phone circuit. Upon detection that the display panel faces away from a user during a phone call, displayed information on the display panel may be concealed automatically. The accelerometer may be also operable to detect shaking motions on the mobile computing device as a user command to turn on or turn off the display panel.
Abstract:
A clocked electronic device includes first and second control systems. The first control system is configured to decrease clock frequency in the device in response to decreasing supply voltage. The second control system is responsive to clock lag in the device and to an amount of current drawn through the device. It is configured to increase the supply voltage in response to increasing clock lag, but to decrease the supply voltage when the current drawn through the device exceeds an operational threshold.
