  • Low latency fine grain system-on-chip throttling apparatus and method on USB type-C port
    Patent number: 11616373
    Abstract: A software and hardware architecture framework utilize the specifications of Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C and Power Deliver (PD) to provide fine grain throttling of a processor (e.g., system-on-chip (SoC)). Based on an external charger connection or disconnection, a low latency fine grain power budget loss or gain indication to the processor is delivered. The mechanism of various embodiments is also applicable to connection or disconnection of VBUS powered peripheral devices to the system. The net power loss or gain available to the SoC and System is proportionally used to scale the processor throttling.
