  • Publication number: 20200303948
    Abstract: A circuit system includes a first power source, a second power source, a first interface circuit, a second interface circuit and an isolation circuit. The first interface circuit is included in a first power domain. The second interface circuit is includes in a second power domain. The bus signal group from the first interface circuit is transmitted to the second interface circuit through the isolation circuit. In a power-saving mode, the bus signal group in a floating state can be effectively isolated by the isolation circuit. If a sudden power interruption event occurs when the circuit system is in the normal working mode, the bus signal group in the floating state is isolated by the isolation circuit. Moreover, the isolation circuit is capable of filtering off the incomplete transaction data, and thus the second interface circuit is not suffered from malfunction.

  • Publication number: 20190332157
    Abstract: Power and performance of a multi-core system is managed dynamically by adjusting power table indices at runtime. Runtime statistics is measured, when an application is executed on a first core of a first type at a first operating point (OPP) in a first time period, and on a second core of a second core type at a second OPP in a second time period. A controller estimates, based on the runtime statistics, a first pair of indices associated with a first OPP for the first core and a second pair of indices associated with a second OPP for the second core. During runtime, the controller incorporates the first pair of indices and the second pair of indices into power table indices; and determines, from the power table indices, selected indices associated with a selected OPP of a core of a selected core type for executing the application.
