Electro-migration is the transport of material caused by the gradual movement of the ions in a conductor due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and diffusing metal atoms. The effect is important in applications where high direct current densities are used, such as in microelectronics and related structures. As the structure size in electronics such as integrated circuits (ICs) decreases, the practical significance of this effect increases. Electro-Migration is a secondary effect of power being distributed […]

A hardware monitor is a common component of modern motherboards, which can either come as a separate chip, often interfaced through I²C or SMBus, or as part of a Super I/O solution, often interfaced through Low Pin Count (LPC).These devices make it possible to monitor temperature in the chassis, voltage supplied to the motherboard by the power supply unit and the speed of the computer fans that are connected directly to one of the fan headers […]

A Power_Manager can be updated via the Power Table directly, or through the use of RegEx expressions that will manually alter the same Power Table entries.  A Power_Manager Table references the devices included in the power domain, including specific state names, speed (Mhz), t_OnOff (time), and operating voltages. The power domain may be a single centralized or decentralized power […]
