Patent number: 10831700Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing connections between multiple internal integrated circuits (ICs) of, for example, a high-speed internal device interface. Improved schemes for coordination of connection and disconnection events, and/or suspension and resumption of operation for a High-Speed Inter-Chip™ (HSIC) interface are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a “device”-initiated and “host”-initiated connect/disconnect procedure is disclosed, that provides improved timing, synchronization, and power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel Wilson, Anand Dalal, Josh De Cesare

Patent number: 10775863Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to manage working states of a data processing system. At least one embodiment of the present invention includes a data processing system with one or more sensors (e.g., physical sensors such as tachometer and thermistors, and logical sensors such as CPU load) for fine grain control of one or more components (e.g., processor, fan, hard drive, optical drive) of the system for working conditions that balance various goals (e.g., user preferences, performance, power consumption, thermal constraints, acoustic noise). In one example, the clock frequency and core voltage for a processor are actively managed to balance performance and power consumption (heat generation) without a significant latency. In one example, the speed of a cooling fan is actively managed to balance cooling effort and noise (and/or power consumption).Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Culbert, Keith Alan Cox, Brian Howard, Josh de Cesare, Richard Charles Williams, Dave Robbins Falkenburg, Daisie Iris Huang, David Radcliffe
