Abstract: Methods and systems to manage an environmental condition, such as power consumption and/or temperature, of an integrated circuit (IC) device by controlling a bandwidth of a packet-based communication interface of the IC device (e.g., a PCIe interface). Bandwidth may be controlled by controlling delay between packets or controlling delay of a handshake signal. Delay may be increased when the environmental condition reaches a first threshold. Delay may be reduced when the environmental condition falls to a second threshold. Bandwidth may be regulated with proportional-integral control provided by a firmware controller and/or hardware. Bandwidth may be separately controlled for upstream and downstream paths based on bandwidth utilization of the respective paths. Bandwidth control may utilize codes stored in selectable registers.
