Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing memory channel interleaving with selective power/performance optimization. One such method comprises configuring an interleaved zone for relatively higher performance tasks, a linear address zone for relatively lower power tasks, and a mixed interleaved-linear zone for tasks with intermediate performance requirements. A boundary is defined among the different zones using a sliding threshold address. The zones may be dynamically adjusted, and/or new zones dynamically created, by changing the sliding address in real-time based on system goals and application performance preferences. A request for high performance memory is allocated to a zone with lower power that minimally supports the required performance, or may be allocated to a low power memory zone with lower than required performance if the system parameters indicate a need for aggressive power conservation. Pages may be migrated between zones in order to free a memory device for powering down.

Abstract: Components of a portable computing device produce power supply voltage requests indicating requested power levels. In response to the power supply voltage requests, power multiplexers associated with the components select and couple corresponding voltage rails associated with two or more fixed-voltage power supplies to the requesting components. Power supplies may be activated and deactivated on an as-requested basis.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for thermal energy management in a portable computing device (“PCD”) based on power level calculations are disclosed. An exemplary method includes tracking instantaneous operating temperatures and active power supply levels to one or more components. With an estimate or measurement of ambient temperature, the instantaneous operating temperature values and active power supply level values can be used to calculate an instantaneous thermal resistance value. In the event that thermal energy generation should be managed, a target operating temperature may be used with the ambient temperature and the instantaneous thermal resistance value to solve for an optimum power supply level. The active power supply level may then be adjusted based on the calculated optimum power supply level.
