ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for determining power events on an I/C chip for undissipated power to the chip, and wherein the chip includes a plurality of separately regulatable power consumers. A structure is provided for monitoring the occurrence of each power event to each power consumer, and determining the dissipation of power from each power event, and controlling power used by the chip responsive to the amount of undissipated power.
