Publication number: 20090029734Abstract: There is provided a mobile communication system that comprises a mobile communication device having a first battery and a compartment, the compartment having a power port. The mobile communication system further comprises a modular accessory including a second battery, where the modular accessory is configured for placement in the compartment, such that the second battery can be connected to the power port. The second battery can be charged through the power port when the modular audio accessory is placed in the compartment. In one aspect, the power port connects the first battery to the second battery. In another aspect, the power port provides power to the second battery without connecting the first battery to the second battery. Further, the mobile communication system may include a single charger for concurrently charging both the first battery to the second battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2007Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventor: Masood Syed

Publication number: 20070240001Abstract: An embedded processor system including at least one gated power unit including an internal ROM and a power controller that provides one or more gated power signals to selectively provide power to each gated power unit. The power controller provides a gated clock signal to the embedded processor to selectively control power consumption of the processor. The power controller powers down each gated power unit after freezing the processor and then powers up each gated power unit before reactivating the processor. The embedded processor system may include isolation circuitry, such as clamp circuitry or the like, that is operative to minimize current flow into each gated power unit when powered down. The gated power units may include a static function. The ROM of an embedded ROM-based microprocessor system is powered down when the microprocessor is idle to reduce or otherwise eliminate intrinsic leakage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2007Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: Broadcom Corporation, a California CorporationInventors: Masood Syed, Yuqian Wong, Brima Ibrahim, Mitchell Buznitsky
