Abstract
A method and system for implementing automated identification of optimal sense point (SP) and sector locations in various on-chip linear voltage regulator designs. A customized cost function is used along with predefined performance metrics to identify optimal SP and sector locations, under user-defined design constraints. The SP and sector locations are updated based on the identified optimization results, and the updated SP and sector locations are applied to an on-chip linear voltage regulator design to provide enhanced regulator performance and to ensure proper operation.
