Power Ramp Control for Data Processing Circuit Transients

The patent applies preliminary action by enabling clock signals to logic regions in a predetermined sequence before full operation begins. The controller activates clock signals to different logic regions at different times, creating a staged startup that prevents sudden power transients while ensuring system responsiveness is maintained.

The patent segments the data detector and decoder into multiple logic regions, each with independent clock signal control. This segmentation allows the system to power on different portions of the circuitry at different rates, smoothing out the overall power transient while maintaining functional responsiveness.

The patent applies preliminary action by progressively enabling clock signals to logic regions before full operation begins. This staged approach allows voltage to stabilize gradually, preventing the need for higher voltage supplies to compensate for transient IR drops, thereby maintaining signal integrity while improving power efficiency.

The patent implements dynamic clock signal enabling where the controller adjusts which logic regions receive clock signals based on power consumption patterns. This dynamic approach optimizes voltage requirements over time, allowing the system to maintain signal integrity without requiring continuously high voltage supplies.

The patent segments the power ramp-up process into multiple stages by controlling different logic regions at different times. This segmentation allows the system to achieve availability through functional operation while keeping power transients manageable by distributing the power increase across multiple time intervals.

The patent implements periodic action through sequential clock signal enabling to different logic regions. The controller follows a predetermined sequence that creates periodic activation patterns, smoothing out power transients while maintaining system availability through progressive functionality.
