Abstract: A system for watermarking a USB Type-C and PD protocol hardware sub-system existing as a part of a SOC/IC system includes a tester to generate a watermarking signal, a device under test (DUT), wherein the DUT is configured with a USB Type-C port with power delivery implementation and including a hardware subsystem configured for watermarking the DUT and transmit a response signal upon receipt of the watermarking signal from the tester. The tester includes a controller including one or more processors that execute a set of executable instructions that are stored in a memory, upon which execution, the processor causes the controller to generate the watermarking signal, the watermarking signal comprises a custom signal and a custom packet associated with a configured custom signal stored in a data buffer that is associated with the SOC/IC system, and transmit the watermarking signal on one or more configuration channel (CC) lines.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method and system for hybrid and/or distributed implementation of generation and/or execution of power profile management instructions. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a hardware element of a SoC/NoC that can be configured to generate and/or execute power profile management instructions using a hybrid combination of software and hardware, wherein the hardware element can be run in parallel with other hardware elements of the SoC/NoC to generate and execute power profile management instructions for different segments or regions of the SoC/NoC for efficient and safe working thereof.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for generating transition state specifications that include information regarding low power behavior of a System on Chip (SoC) and/or a Network on Chip (NoC). Such transition state specifications can enable verification of switching behavior when elements/components of a SoC/NoC or a subset thereof switch from one power profile to another, or when the elements/components switch in stable states of power based on inputs such as voltages, clocks, power domains, and traffic.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to the generation of a specification for automatic power management of a network on chip and/or a system on chip. Such example implementations can include automatically generating a specification comprising at least one of a power domain, an always-on indicator, a voltage domain, a voltage level, and a clock frequency for each of one or more agents of a System on Chip (SoC) and a Network on Chip (NoC), the voltage domain indicative of power supply of the each agent, and the power domain indicative of one or more power switch rules applied to the each agent.
