  • Publication number: 20250155916
    Abstract: A method for a clock monitoring subsystem of a system-on-chip (SoC) supporting dynamic clock scaling and voltage gating is described. The method includes generating a set of clocks. The method also includes routing a selected one of the set of clocks for frequency measurement through one or more clock routing subsystems. The method further includes adjusting a frequency of the selected clock after the selected clock is routed through the clock routing subsystems. The method also includes communicating a sideband signal to indicate the adjusted frequency of the selected clock.

  • Patent number: 12250454
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for camera dynamic voting to optimize fast sensor mode power. In some examples, a computing device can obtain, based on performing dynamic voting, a plurality of votes associated with a plurality of components sharing a power source. The computing device can determine a voting result based on the plurality of votes. The computing device can increase or decreasing a clock rate and a voltage for the power source based on the voting result to produce an updated clock rate and an updated voltage. The computing device can then apply the updated clock rate and the updated voltage to an image processor.

  • Patent number: 12093096
    Abstract: Various dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) techniques can optimize the high voltage residency of a device containing multiple processing cores that share a voltage rail. The DVFS techniques described herein can reduce the high voltage residency (duration) of the voltage rail by aligning the high frequency duration of multiple cores sharing the same voltage rail.
