Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus and method are disclosed that may allow for managing power of a computing system. The apparatus may include a clock generation circuit, a bus interface unit, and a control circuit. The clock generation circuit may be configured to generate multiple clock signals. Each clock signal may provide a timing reference to different functional blocks within a device coupled to the communication bus. The bus interface unit may be configured to receive messages from the device via the communication bus. The messages may include a latency value and a request to activate a low power mode. The control circuit may be configured to deactivate one or more of the multiple clock signals dependent upon the latency value and multiple threshold values.

Abstract: A clock divider may provide a lower speed clock to a logic block portion, but during reset, the clock divider may not operate properly, causing the logic block portion to be reset at a clock frequency greater than the frequency for which that logic was designed. However, an extended reset may be employed in which the clock divider is reset normally first before the logic block portion, allowing that logic to be reset according to the divided clock (e.g., rather than a higher speed clock). An asynchronous reset may also be employed in which one or more clock dividers first emerge from reset before being provided with a (synchronized) high speed clock signal, causing the clock dividers to be in phase with each other. This may enable communication between different areas of an IC that might not otherwise be in proper phase with each other.
Abstract translation: 时钟分频器可以向逻辑块部分提供较低速度的时钟，但是在复位期间，时钟分频器可能无法正常工作，导致逻辑块部分在大于设计该逻辑的频率的时钟频率下复位。 然而，可以采用扩展复位，其中时钟分频器首先在逻辑块部分之前正常复位，从而允许根据分频时钟（例如，而不是更高速度的时钟）来复位该逻辑。 还可以采用异步复位，其中一个或多个时钟分频器首先在被提供有（同步的）高速时钟信号之前从复位中出现，使得时钟分频器彼此同相。 这可以使IC之间的不同区域之间的通信可能不会彼此正确相位。

Abstract: In an embodiment, a peripheral interface controller may include an inline cryptographic engine which may encrypt data being sent over a peripheral interface and decrypt data received from the peripheral interface. The encryption may be transparent to the device connected to the peripheral interface that is receiving/supplying the data. In an embodiment, the peripheral interface controller is included in a system on a chip (SOC) that also includes a memory controller configured to couple to a memory. The memory may be mounted on the SOC in a chip-on-chip or package-on-package configuration. The unencrypted data may be stored in the memory for use by other parts of the SOC (e.g. processors, on-chip peripherals, etc.). The keys used for the encryption/decryption of data may remain within the SOC.
