    Abstract: A power control circuit an corresponding technique for adjusting operating frequency and/or supply voltage in sections of a single electronic device while maintaining substantially constant operating frequency and/or supply voltage in the other sections in the electronic device. Such control is based on the operating environment of the hardware product employing the electronic device by determining whether the hardware product is connected to an external power source. As a result, the electronic device in the hardware product is able to operate at full frequency and voltage during certain situations and to operate at a reduced frequency and/or voltage in some sections of the processor and not in the other sections during other situations.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus defer correction of an error in a tag entry of a cache tag array. An address of requested data, including an address tag field, can be received by a cache. A first hit indication based at least in part on a comparison of the address tag field and a first tag entry can be generated and result in outputting of a first data entry of a data array. An error in the tag entry can be detected, and the first data entry can be disregard based at least in part on the detected error.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to improving exit latency from computing device processor core deep power down. Processor state data may be maintained during deep power down mode by providing a secondary uninterrupted voltage supply to always on keeper circuits that reside within critical state registers of the processor. When these registers receive a control signal indicating that the processor power state is going to be reduced from an active processor power state to a zero processor power state, they write critical state data from the critical state register latches to the keeper circuits that are supplied with the uninterrupted power. Then, when a register receives a control signal indicating that a processor power state of the processor is going to be increased back to an active processor power state, the critical state data stored in the keeper circuits is written back to the critical state register latches.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to energy efficient and conserving thermal throttling of electronic device processors using a zero voltage processor state. For example, a processor die may include a power control unit (PCU), and an execution unit having power gates and a thermal sensor. The PCU is attached to the thermal sensor to determine if a temperature of the execution unit has increased to greater than an upper threshold, such as while the execution unit is processing data in an active processor power state. The PCU is also attached to the power gates so that upon such detection, it can change the active processor power state to a zero processor power state to reduce the temperature of the execution unit. When the sensor detects that the temperature has decreased to less than a lower threshold, the PCU can change the processor power state back to the active state.
