    Abstract: An SOC includes a secure processor and an always-on component. The always-on component may remain powered even during times that other parts of the SOC are powered off. Particularly, the secure processor and related circuitry may be powered off, while various state for the secure processor may be stored in memory in an encrypted form. Certain state may be stored in the always-on component. When the secure processor is powered on again, the secure processor may check for the state in the always-on component. If the state is found, the secure processor may retrieve the state and use the state to access the encrypted memory state.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) includes a component that remains powered when the remainder of the SOC is powered off. The component may include a sensor capture unit to capture data from various device sensors, and may filter the captured sensor data. Responsive to the filtering, the component may wake up the remainder of the SOC to permit the processing. The component may store programmable configuration data, matching the state at the time the SOC was most recently powered down, for the other components of the SOC, in order to reprogram them after wakeup. In some embodiments, the component may be configured to wake up the memory controller within the SOC and the path to the memory controller, in order to write the data to memory. The remainder of the SOC may remain powered down.
