  • Patent number: 11340689
    Abstract: A method of thermal mitigation in a device having a plurality of non-real-time processing units (PUs) and a plurality of real-time PUs, including connecting each of the plurality of real-time PUs and the plurality of non-real-time PUs to a first power supply, and performing thermal mitigation. Performing thermal mitigation includes disconnecting each of the plurality of non-real-time PUs except one of the plurality of non-real-time PUs from the first power supply resulting in an active non-real-time PU, and connecting a second power supply that derives power from the first power supply to the active non-real-time PU, wherein a voltage supplied by the second power supply is less than a voltage supplied by the first power supply.

  • Patent number: 10474224
    Abstract: A method for reducing power in a system is provided according to aspects of the present disclosure. The system includes a chip, and a volatile memory. The method includes entering a sleep state, and exiting the sleep state. Entering the sleep state includes placing the volatile memory in a self-refresh mode, wherein the volatile memory stores one or more binary images and the volatile memory is powered in the sleep state, and collapsing multiple power supply rails on the chip. Exiting the sleep state includes restoring power to the multiple power supply rails on the chip, taking the volatile memory out of the self-refresh mode, and running the one or more binary images on one or more sub-systems on the chip.

  • Patent number: 9582068
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and circuits for preserving state information during power saving operations are disclosed. One example embodiment includes a circuit having a processing core, where the processing core includes logic processing circuits as well as circuits (e.g., flip-flops registers) that are used to store state information in the processing core. The logic processing circuits have power connections to a power rail that are subject to a switch, which can disconnect the power connections from the power rail. The circuits that are used to store state information have different power connections that are subject to a different switch. Therefore, the logic processing circuits and the state information circuits can be separately power-collapsed.
