  • Low power display refresh
    Patent number: 7734943
    Abstract: An application processor coupled to a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) interfaces with a graphics accelerator. A Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) stores frame buffer data that may be transferred to a display through a switch located on the graphics accelerator in normal operation. In a power savings mode, the DRAM may be powered down and a copied frame buffer data stored in the SRAM may be transferred to the display through the switch.
