摘要: A low-power system-on-chip includes an originating controller, a fabric, and a power controller. The originating controller is configured to initiate a memory transaction request including a source address. The fabric includes an arbiter configured to receive the memory transaction request and determine a first memory device associated with the memory transaction request. The power controller is configured to selectively change a first memory bank of the first memory device from a first power mode to a second power mode based at least in part on the source address. The fabric is configured to perform a memory operation by (a) receiving stored data from memory storage locations corresponding to the source address when the memory transaction request includes a read request, and (b) sending data included in the memory transaction request to the memory storage locations when the memory transaction request includes a program or a write request.

摘要: An adaptive voltage converter adapted to compensate for the exponential sensitivities of sub-threshold and near-threshold circuits. The converter can change its power/performance characteristics between different energy modes. The converter may comprise two or more voltage converters/regulators. A multiplexing circuit selects between the outputs of the several converters/regulators depending on the state of a control signal generated by a control facility. The converter is specially adapted to change the output of each converter/regulator based on a number of variables, including, for example, process corner, temperature and input voltage.

摘要: A system for computing devices includes a central processing unit (CPU that is configured to perform in a plurality of power modes, each power mode being pre-defined to have a different code-execution performance capability than remaining ones of the plurality of power modes. The system further includes a sampling peripheral, an electrical output, and a memory device. The memory device is configured to select and execute a specific module from the plurality of modules based on the context-identifying input triggering the specific module. If triggered, each module is executed to receive the context-identifying input from the sampling peripheral, and to operate the CPU in a dedicated power mode of the plurality of power modes.

摘要: A microcontroller system includes a processing unit supporting at least one near or sub Vt circuit and a plurality of memory blocks, each memory block connected to a DMA controller and independently power controlled. A power control system uses power gates to power control at least the memory blocks. In some embodiments, a wake-up interrupt controller is connected to the power control system and a voltage regulator system is used to supply voltage to separate power domains, with the voltage regulator systems controlled at least in part by power gates operated by the power control system. A plurality of clocks can be connected to define clock domains associated with separate power domains.

摘要: A method of determining power data of a system on a chip is disclosed. A plug-in module is provided for installation on the chip. The plug-in module is activated to take a snapshot of the data in power related registers of components on the chip when user provided software is executed on the system on a chip. The collected data is streamed to an external computing device. A spreadsheet of the collected register data may be displayed. A graphic representation of the collected register data may be displayed.

摘要: A microcontroller system that includes a central processing unit (CPU), a first system memory, a first peripheral module, and a DMA controller is disclosed. The DMA controller includes a DMA processor, a DMA memory, and a DMA interconnect. The DMA memory stores information associated with the DMA processor. The DMA processor receives a command from the CPU or a signal from a peripheral processor of the first peripheral module that a first data transfer is requested. The DMA processor receives first data from the first system memory or the first peripheral module. The DMA processor, based at least in part on the information stored in the DMA memory, transmits the first data to the first peripheral module or the first system memory, thereby sparing the CPU from managing the transferring of the first data.
