摘要: Devices and methods for transitioning between power states of a device are provided. A program is executed using data stored in configuration registers assigned to a component of a device. For a first reduced power state, data of a first portion of the configuration registers is saved to the memory using a first set of linear address space. For a second reduced power state, data of a second portion of the configuration registers is saved to the memory using a second set of linear address space and data of a third portion of the configuration registers is saved to the memory using a third set of linear address space.

摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for transitioning, by a hardware-based controller, a system on a chip (SoC) into different power states. Techniques disclosed include tracking, by the controller, metrics associated with the SoC and transitioning, by the controller, the SoC from a first power state to a second power state based on the tracked metrics. Were the total amount of power that is used by at least a portion of the transition between the first power state to the second power state and a time spent in the second power state is less than the total amount of power that would have been used by remaining in the first power state.

摘要: A method and apparatus for isolating and restoring general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pads in a computer system includes identifying GPIO pads associated with the region responsive to an entry into a power-down state of a region of a circuit. The GPIO pads are isolated from one or more external circuits. Upon exit from the power-down state, each associated GPIO pad is restored to a current value.

摘要: A disclosed technique includes triggering entry into a clock bypass mode, in which a bypass clock generator provides clock signals to functional elements and a primary clock generator does not provide clock signals to functional elements; and triggering exit from the clock bypass mode, in which the bypass clock generator does not provide clock signals to the functional elements and the primary clock generator does provide clock signals to the functional elements.

摘要: A method and system for operating in a single display mode operation and a dual pipe mode of operation is disclosed. The method and system includes operating in a dual pipe mode of operation in which each display pipe transmits data from a respective buffer to an associated display. The method and system further includes operating in a single display mode of operation in which one display pipe transmits data from a plurality of buffers to an associated display.

摘要: A method and apparatus for managing a controller includes indicating, by a processor of a first device, to the controller of a second device to enter a second power state from a first power state. The controller of the second device responds to the processor of the first device with a confirmation. The processor of the first device transmits a signal to the controller of the second device to enter the second power state. Upon receiving a wake event, the controller of the second device exits the second device from the second power state to the first power state.

摘要: Devices and methods for linear addressing are provided. A device is provided which comprises a plurality of components having assigned registers used to store data to execute a program and a power management controller, in communication with the components. The power management controller is configured to send one of a request to remove power to the components and a request to reduce power to the components when it is determined that the components are idle, execute a first process of one of removing power and reducing power to the components and entering a reduced power state when an acknowledgement of the request is received and execute a second process of restoring power to the components when one or more of the components are indicated to be active.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for integrated circuit power management. A mode of a power management state is entered, from the power management state, in response to an entry condition of the mode. A device that is otherwise powered off in the power management state is powered on in the mode of the power management state. In some implementations, the device includes a communications path between a second device and a third device. In some implementations, the device is in a power domain that is powered off in the power management state. In some implementations, the power domain is powered off in the mode. In some implementations, the device is powered on in the mode via a power rail that is specific to the mode. In some implementations, the entry condition of the mode includes an amount of data stored for display in a display buffer falling below a threshold amount.

摘要: A system and method for managing operating modes within a semiconductor chip for optimal power and performance while meeting a reliability target are described. A semiconductor chip includes a functional unit and a corresponding reliability monitor. The functional unit provides actual usage values to the reliability monitor. The reliability monitor determines expected usage values based on a reliability target and the age of the semiconductor chip. The reliability monitor compares the actual usage values and the expected usage values. The result of this comparison is used to increase or decrease current operational parameters.
