Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for communication virtualized general-purpose input/output (GPIO) signals over a serial communication link. A method performed at a device coupled to a serial bus includes determining that GPIO state information corresponding to a physical GPIO pin or signal is available in an event register that has a first bit width and includes information identifying one or more devices associated with the event register, and exchanging the GPIO state information with the one or more devices over the serial bus. The GPIO state information may be transmitted over the serial bus in accordance with configuration information stored in the event register. The configuration information may include an address identifying the one or more devices. The configuration information may include addressing information identifying a target register in the one or more devices. The configuration information may include information identifying a mode of communication for transmitting the GPIO state information.

Abstract: Various embodiments include power management system methods including receiving, at a processor(s), a notification signal triggering the processor(s) to implement power usage mitigation at the processor(s), determining, by the processor(s), a mitigation amount of power rail power by which to mitigate current usage at a power rail based on a use case for the power rail, and implementing power usage mitigation at the processor(s) by the processor(s) sufficient to mitigate power usage at the power rail by the mitigation amount of power rail power. Power usage mitigation may include reducing processor(s) current usage: by a predefined amount; proportional to the amount a power rail current exceeds a power rail current threshold; by the amount of current exceeding a processor current threshold; or by a smallest amount between the amount a power rail current exceeds a power rail current threshold and the processor(s) current exceeds a processor current threshold.

Abstract: Various embodiments may include methods and systems for power management of multiple chiplets within a system-on-a-chip (SoC). Various systems may include a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) configured to supply power to a first chiplet and a second chiplet across a shared power rail. The first chiplet may be configured to obtain first sensory information throughout the first chiplet. The second chiplet may be configured to obtain second sensory information throughout the second chiplet, and may be configured to transmit a voltage change message to the first chiplet based on the second sensory information. The first chiplet may be configured to transmit a power rail adjustment message to the PMIC based on the first sensory information and the voltage change message. The PMIC may be configured to adjust the voltage of at least one of the first chiplet and the second chiplet.

Abstract: Dynamic power supply voltage adjustment in a computing device may involve two stages. In a first stage, a first method for adjusting a power supply voltage may be disabled. While the first method remains disabled, a request to adjust the power supply voltage from an initial value to a target value using a second method may be received. The second method may be initiated in response to the request if a time interval has elapsed since a previous request to adjust the power supply voltage. In a second stage, the first method may be enabled when it has been determined that the power supply voltage has reached the target value.

Abstract: In controlling power in a portable computing device (“PCD”), a power supply input to a PCD subsystem may be modulated with a modulation signal when an over-current condition is detected. Detection of the modulation signal may indicate to a processing core of the subsystem to reduce its processing load. Compensation for the modulation signal in the power supply input may be applied so that the processing core is essentially unaffected by the modulation signal.

Abstract: In each of two or more pipelined subsystems, the relative amount of time that the processing cores are idle may be determined. If the idle ratio is below a threshold, the clock frequency and voltage may be adjusted using dynamic clock and voltage scaling (DCVS) based on a power limit. However, if the idle ratio exceeds the threshold, the clock frequency and voltage may be decreased without regard to the power limit.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods performed by a processor for managing voltage droop margins of a power distribution network (PDN). Various embodiments may include receiving, by a processor from a first client powered by a shared power rail within the PDN, a first requested performance corner, receiving, by the processor from a second client powered by the shared power rail, a second requested performance corner, determining by the processor a first peak current value based on the first requested performance corner, determining by the processor a second peak current value based on the second requested performance corner, determining by the processor a system voltage droop margin based on the first peak current value, the second peak current value, and an impedance value of the PDN, and adjusting a voltage of the shared power rail based on the system voltage droop margin.

Abstract: The energy consumed by data transfer in a computing device may be reduced by transferring data that has been encoded in a manner that reduces the number of one “1” data values, the number of signal level transitions, or both. A data destination component of the computing device may receive data encoded in such a manner from a data source component of the computing device over a data communication interconnect, such as an off-chip interconnect. The data may be encoded using minimum Hamming weight encoding, which reduces the number of one “1” data values. The received data may be decoded using minimum Hamming weight decoding. For other computing devices, the data may be encoded using maximum Hamming weight encoding, which increases the number of one “1” data values while reducing the number of zero “0” values, if reducing the number of zero values reduces energy consumption.
