Abstract: 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.
