Abstract
A voltage regulator dynamically adjusts the voltage distribution on a voltage rail based on multiple feedback measurements. The voltage regulator provides electrical power to a voltage rail at multiple power supply locations along the voltage rail. The voltage regulator obtains voltage measurements from multiple voltage sensing locations on the voltage rail and detects a spatially unequal voltage deviation in the voltage rail. The voltage regulator adjusts the electrical power provided to the voltage rail at each of the power supply locations to compensate for the spatially unequal voltage deviation in the voltage rail.
