It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0024] Example 1, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 This application provides an adaptive power regulation method for power integrated circuits, applied to an adaptive power regulation system for power integrated circuits, specifically including the following steps:

[0025] S1: Divide the power integrated circuit to output multiple power domains.

[0026] Specifically, a power integrated circuit (IC) is a circuit structure that integrates power management, power conversion, and signal control on a single chip to achieve efficient scheduling and control of energy flow. Dividing a power IC involves dividing the complete IC into several independent but energy-coupled sub-regions, called power domains, based on its functional areas or power load characteristics. The partitioning process is based on the voltage level, load type, power consumption characteristics, or heat distribution of each module. For example, in a single chip, the processor module, memory module, and peripheral interface module can each constitute three power domains. This partitioning allows the power requirements of different modules to be independently identified and controlled, thereby improving the accuracy of energy efficiency management.

[0027] S2: Extract the power demand data of each power domain from the multiple power domains, and construct multiple sets of power feature vectors based on the power demand data.

[0028] Specifically, power demand data for each of the multiple power domains is extracted, and energy demand analysis is performed separately. This yields data on the electrical energy consumption exhibited during operation for each power domain. Power demand data refers to the real-time energy demand information of the circuit at different times and under different operating modes, including parameters such as average power, peak power, voltage fluctuation, current amplitude, and energy change rate.

[0029] The power demand data extracted from each power domain is mathematically characterized to form a set of vectors that reflect the power behavior characteristics of that power domain. A power feature vector is a data structure that exists in a multi-dimensional form, with each dimension representing a specific characteristic indicator, such as average power, duty cycle, thermal response rate, or time duration distribution. The set of feature vectors can be used to describe the power characteristic distribution of a power domain under different states.

[0030] S3: Perform Gaussian mixture model clustering on the multiple power feature vector sets to construct a complementarity matrix based on the multiple clustering results.

[0031] Furthermore, this application also includes: performing Gaussian mixture model clustering on the multiple power feature vector sets to obtain multiple clustering results; analyzing the temporal complementarity, spectral complementarity, thermal complementarity, and reliability complementarity between every two clustering results; calculating the comprehensive weight of the temporal complementarity, spectral complementarity, thermal complementarity, and reliability complementarity to obtain a comprehensive complementarity index; constructing a complementarity matrix based on the comprehensive complementarity index, wherein each element in the complementarity matrix is ​​the comprehensive complementarity index value between the corresponding two clustering results.

[0032] Furthermore, this application also includes: wherein each power feature vector set includes average power, peak power distribution, duty cycle, pulse amplitude distribution, thermal response sensitivity, and time-domain persistence distribution; defining initialization parameters for the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), including initialization mean, initialization covariance, initialization weights, and regularization term; performing expectation-maximization algorithm fitting on the initialized GMM according to the clustering quantity variable until a preset number of iterations is reached, and outputting the optimal solution of the clustering quantity variable; and using the optimal solution of the clustering quantity variable to perform probabilistic clustering on the multiple power feature vector sets to obtain multiple clustering results.

[0033] Specifically, each power feature vector set includes average power, peak power distribution, duty cycle, pulse amplitude distribution, thermal response sensitivity, and time-domain persistence distribution. Average power reflects the average power consumption level over a certain period and is a fundamental indicator for measuring energy stability. Peak power distribution describes the frequency and range at which power reaches its extreme values ​​within a short time, reflecting the transient load capacity of the circuit. Duty cycle refers to the proportion of time the power signal is in a high-power state within one cycle, used to measure the efficiency of power modulation or switching. Pulse amplitude distribution describes the probability of pulses of different amplitudes occurring in the power signal, reflecting the nonlinear characteristics of power fluctuations in the circuit. Thermal response sensitivity indicates the sensitivity of power changes to temperature rise, reflecting the chip's thermal coupling and heat dissipation capabilities. Time-domain persistence distribution describes the duration of power maintenance at a certain level, reflecting the temporal stability of load fluctuations.

[0034] The initialization parameters of the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) are defined, including the initial mean, initial covariance, initial weights, and regularization term. The initial mean refers to the initial position of each potential cluster centroid in the feature space, determining the initial distribution shape of the model. The initial covariance defines the degree of diffusion of each cluster across different feature dimensions, affecting the cluster shape and extent. The initial weights set the proportion of each Gaussian component in the overall distribution, thus influencing the model's initial focus on different patterns. The regularization term is a constraint parameter to prevent overfitting and maintain model stability during iteration.

[0035] The initial Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is fitted using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm based on the cluster size variable. This involves continuously optimizing the model parameters using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm to determine the optimal number of clusters until a preset number of iterations is reached. The optimal solution for the cluster size variable is then output, yielding the number of clusters best suited to describe the power characteristic data structure. The cluster size variable refers to the number of data clusters assumed by the GMM, which influences the accuracy and generalization ability of the clustering. The Expectation-Maximization algorithm alternates between the expectation step and the maximization step in each iteration, allowing the GMM to gradually approach the optimal distribution in a probabilistic sense. The preset number of iterations is set empirically or based on convergence conditions.

[0036] By utilizing the optimal solution of the clustering quantity variable to perform probabilistic clustering on multiple power feature vector sets and obtaining multiple clustering results, it is possible to re-perform clustering analysis on all power feature vector sets using the optimal clustering quantity, thereby obtaining clustering results that better reflect the data distribution. Probabilistic clustering assigns a probability of belonging to different categories to each sample, thus reflecting the fuzzy boundaries between power features.

[0037] Furthermore, the temporal complementarity, spectral complementarity, thermal complementarity, and reliability complementarity of each pair of clustering results are analyzed to represent a multidimensional analysis of the complementary characteristics between different power behavior patterns. Temporal complementarity refers to the degree to which two power patterns do not overlap or change in opposite directions on the time axis; for example, one module operates at high power while another is in a low-power state. Spectral complementarity reflects the degree of difference in the frequency domain characteristics of power signals; for example, one power domain is mainly concentrated in the low-frequency band, while the other is in the high-frequency band. Thermal complementarity indicates the synergy of different power domains in thermal response; if the heating peak of one power domain corresponds to the low-heat stage of another power domain, the complementarity is strong. Reliability complementarity measures the redundancy capability of two power domains in stable operation, i.e., whether the other domain can provide support when one domain fails. When two clustering patterns are staggered in time, complementary in spectrum, balanced in thermal distribution, and have high reliability, it indicates that the two clustering patterns have strong synergistic potential.

[0038] A comprehensive complementarity index is obtained by calculating the combined weights of temporal complementarity, spectral complementarity, thermal complementarity, and reliability complementarity. This comprehensive weighting balances the overall evaluation results by allocating the importance proportions of different complementarity indices; for example, temporal complementarity accounts for 40% of the weight, thermal complementarity for 30%, and spectral complementarity and reliability each for 15%. A complementarity matrix is ​​constructed based on this comprehensive complementarity index. Each element in the complementarity matrix represents the comprehensive complementarity index value between two corresponding clustering results. That is, the complementarity matrix is ​​a two-dimensional data structure where rows and columns correspond to different clustering results, and each matrix element represents the comprehensive complementarity value between a pair of clusters. If there are five clustering results, the complementarity matrix is ​​a 5x5 square matrix, with each element value between 0 and 1; a larger value indicates stronger complementarity.

[0039] S4: Establish a pairing priority list according to the complementarity matrix, and obtain complementary power regulator pairs based on the pairing priority list.

[0040] Furthermore, this application also includes: outputting a list of paired comprehensive complementarity index values ​​according to the complementarity matrix; and outputting a pair of complementary power controllers after sorting the list of paired comprehensive complementarity index values.

[0041] Specifically, based on the complementarity matrix, the comprehensive complementarity index values ​​between each cluster result are extracted and reorganized into a list, outputting a list of paired comprehensive complementarity index values. The paired comprehensive complementarity index values ​​are a one-dimensional index set formed by extracting the comprehensive complementarity values ​​of each pair of cluster results, allowing for direct comparison of the synergistic potential of different cluster combinations.

[0042] The power regulator pairs are sorted in descending or ascending order based on their overall complementarity index values ​​to select the most complementary pairs. For example, a numerical comparison algorithm can be used to prioritize combinations with high overall complementarity. A complementary power regulator pair refers to two power domains or their corresponding control units with strong complementary characteristics, which can compensate for each other in power switching, load balancing, or thermal management. After sorting, target pairing results can be generated based on the high-complementarity combinations at the top of the list and output for use by the power management module.

[0043] S5: Configure an adaptive power regulator for the complementary power regulator pair. Each adaptive power regulator includes an adaptive power switching control logic model built based on the redundancy switching logic between the complementary power regulator pairs. Perform adaptive power control on each complementary power regulator pair based on the adaptive power switching control logic model.

[0044] Furthermore, this application also includes: configuring an adaptive power regulator for the complementary power regulator pair, wherein the adaptive power regulator is a DC-DC power conversion circuit.

[0045] Furthermore, this application also includes: the DC-DC power conversion circuit includes an output terminal and a redundant output terminal; wherein, the output terminal is used to control the power domain of the original complementary power regulator, and the redundant output terminal is used to control the power domain of the complementary power regulator that triggers a fault.

[0046] Furthermore, this application also includes: reading the sensor data pairs of each complementary power regulator for its respective power domain, including output voltage, output current and sensing temperature; performing fault detection on the sensor data pairs for its respective power domain to determine whether any sensor data in any power domain triggers a fault; if a fault is triggered, the adaptive power switching control logic model enters a fault transfer state to stop the operation of the complementary power regulator that triggered the fault and activate the redundant output terminal of the other complementary power regulator.

[0047] Furthermore, this application also includes: constructing a multi-source state evaluation vector, inputting the multi-source state evaluation vector into a pre-trained fault classification model, the fault classification model being a model based on a convolutional neural network and recurrent units learning from historical fault event samples; determining whether a fault is triggered based on the power anomaly level output by the pre-trained fault classification model, wherein a fault is triggered when the power anomaly level is greater than a preset level.

[0048] Furthermore, this application also includes: reading the initial power control parameters of the complementary power regulator that triggered the fault; obtaining the real-time power control parameters of the complementary power regulator; using the initial power control parameters as the adaptive target and the real-time power control parameters as the input for redundant regulation, to obtain the conversion power control parameters of the redundant output terminal, which are used to control the power domain of the complementary power regulator that triggered the fault.

[0049] Specifically, to improve the adaptability of complementary power regulators to dynamic load changes, an adaptive power control unit is added to each pair of complementary devices. An adaptive power regulator is a control device that can automatically adjust the output voltage or current according to changes in power domain demand. It employs a DC-DC power conversion circuit, a power electronic circuit structure that converts the input DC voltage into another form of DC voltage. The DC-DC power conversion circuit achieves efficient energy transfer and voltage regulation control by changing parameters such as duty cycle and switching frequency, maintaining a balanced and stable power output under different load conditions. Furthermore, the DC-DC power conversion circuit includes an output terminal and a redundant output terminal, indicating that the DC-DC power conversion circuit not only completes conventional energy output but also has redundancy design capabilities. The output terminal is used to control the power domain of the original complementary power regulator, meaning that during normal operation, the main output signal of the DC-DC power conversion circuit is transmitted to the original complementary device to control its corresponding power region. The redundant output is used to control the power domain of the complementary power regulator that triggered the fault in the event of a fault. This means that when a regulator stops working due to overload, short circuit or device failure, it can automatically switch to the redundant output, which will continue to provide stable energy to that power domain, preventing energy interruption or system collapse.

[0050] Furthermore, the sensor data pairs for each complementary power regulator's power domain are read, i.e., the operating status information of each power domain is acquired in real time. The sensor data pairs include output voltage, output current, and sensing temperature, which together reflect the operating status of the power domain. The output voltage represents the real-time change of potential, the output current reflects the load consumption, and the sensing temperature is used to monitor the thermal operating level of the circuit and devices.

[0051] Furthermore, constructing a multi-source state assessment vector refers to integrating data from different sensors or system modules into a multi-dimensional feature representation for comprehensive evaluation of the current operating status of the power system. For example, voltage, current, temperature, load change rate, frequency fluctuations, and equipment vibration signals collectively characterize the system's health status from multiple perspectives. The state assessment vector is a mathematical expression formed after monitoring data has been normalized, feature extracted, and combined.

[0052] The multi-source state evaluation vector is input into a pre-trained fault classification model to determine whether there is a potential fault risk. The fault classification model learns from historical fault event samples based on convolutional neural networks and recurrent units, combining spatial feature extraction and time series memory capabilities. The convolutional neural network is responsible for capturing the spatial distribution patterns of multi-dimensional features, such as power fluctuation patterns or temperature change trends, while the recurrent units are responsible for learning time dependencies, such as the dynamic evolution of data before and after the fault.

[0053] The determination of whether a fault is triggered based on the power anomaly level output by the pre-trained fault classification model means that the fault classification model generates a numerical value or category label representing the risk level of the current system state during the output phase. The power anomaly level reflects the degree to which the current power domain deviates from the normal state and is divided into multiple levels, such as level 0 representing normal, level 1 representing slight fluctuations, level 2 representing potential anomalies, and level 3 representing severe anomalies. The determination of whether a fault is triggered is made by comparing the power anomaly level with a preset level, where the preset level is a threshold determined by system safety standards or historical statistical data. When the power anomaly level exceeds the preset level, a fault is triggered, indicating that the current state has reached an unacceptable level of risk, requiring protective actions such as stopping output, initiating redundancy switching, or notifying the higher-level monitoring system.

[0054] When a sensor data triggers a fault in any power domain, the adaptive power switching control logic model enters a fault transfer state to stop the operation of the faulty complementary power regulator, preventing further damage or energy waste. Further, the initial power control parameters of the faulty complementary power regulator are read, extracting the original control parameters used by the regulator under normal operating conditions. These initial power control parameters refer to the standard operating settings recorded by the complementary power regulator during system configuration or normal operation, including output voltage setpoints, output current upper limit, switching frequency, duty cycle, and power feedback coefficient, reflecting the regulator's ideal operating mode. Then, the real-time power control parameters of the complementary power regulator are obtained, including current output power, voltage fluctuations, frequency adjustment status, and load feedback signals. Using the initial power control parameters as the adaptive target and the real-time power control parameters as input, redundant control is performed. The conversion power control parameters at the redundant output terminal, calculated by the control algorithm, are the final output settings calculated by the redundant control algorithm and will be executed on the backup channel to control the power domain of the faulty complementary power regulator, ensuring that this power domain continues to maintain normal power supply.

[0055] In summary, the adaptive power regulation method for power integrated circuits provided in this application has the following technical effects: by achieving the technical goals of coordinated power allocation among multiple power domains, adaptive redundancy regulation, and rapid fault switching, it achieves the technical effects of improving energy utilization efficiency, enhancing system reliability, and realizing self-healing power regulation management.
