  • System and method for power control for ASIC device
    Patent number: 7814344
    Abstract: A system and method for power control for ASIC device is disclosed. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a system for adjusting power consumption of an ASIC device. The system includes a first buffer. The first buffer is configured to receive and store data. The system also includes a controller that is configured to generate a control signal. The controller is coupled to the first buffer. The system additionally includes a processing unit coupled to the first buffer. The processing unit includes a first power source and a second power source. The first power source is different from the second power source. The processing unit is configured to receive the control signal from the controller. Additionally, the system includes a second buffer coupled to the processing unit. The second buffer is configured to receive and store processed data.
