Abstract: A method for power management of a CPU and a system thereof, which drive the CPU to enter a more efficient power saving state are disclosed. A chip of the present invention sends a first control signal to drive the CPU to wake from a non-snooping sleep state and enter a normally executing instruction state as well as a system management mode to execute a system management interrupt routine. Then the chip enables an arbiter to transmit a bus master request to the CPU for processing. After completing the processing of the bus master request, the chip disables the arbiter and the CPU drives the chip to send a second control signal to drive the CPU to return to the non-snooping sleep state according the system management interrupt routine.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for power management for a computer system. In one embodiment, the computer system comprises a system controller, a chipset, and a battery coupled to the chipset via a system management bus. First, a timer of the chipset is used to calculate an accumulated time value. When the accumulated time value exceeds a threshold value, the chipset is directed to send a system control interrupt to the system controller. After the system controller receives the system control interrupt, the system controller is triggered to detect a power level supplied by the battery via the system management bus.

Abstract: A USB device enumeration process implemented in a USB device is described. The USB device first detects a type of the operating system (OS) of the USB host connected to the device, and performs device enumeration using a process selected from multiple stored processes based on the detected host OS type. To detect the host OS type, the USB device first presents itself to the host as a USB MSD or HID, performs device enumeration to collect OS behavior factors from the host, and determines the OS type from the OS behavior factors. Thereafter, the USB device performs actual device enumeration by presenting itself as the USB device it actually is, using an enumeration process specific to the detected host OS type. The multiple stored enumeration processes are customer configurable. Further, a method is provided to stop an enumeration process when the host is in a BIOS stage.

CPU temperature data (CPUT) is first acquired. A thermal throttle duty (TTD) is then calculated according to the acquired CPUT. Thereafter, the calculated TTD can be sent to the CPU and the CPU performance is accordingly adjusted.
