Abstract
Various aspects provide for detecting voltage droops. For example, a system can include a voltage calibrator component and a comparator component. The voltage calibrator component can convert a first supply voltage associated with a power distribution network of an integrated circuit to a second supply voltage via a resistance ladder circuit. The comparator component can generate a comparison output signal in response to a determination that a comparison between the second supply voltage and a reference voltage satisfies a defined criterion.
