    摘要: Adjusting a clock source of a device clock to reduce wireless communication (e.g., radio frequency (RF)) interference within a device. The device clock may be derived from an input clock to a serial interface, e.g., coupled to a display, and may be initially driven by a first clock. Later, it may be determined that the serial interface clock is or will interfere with wireless communication. Accordingly, temporary clock signals may be provided to the device clock while the first clock is modified. Once modified, the modified clock signals may be provided to the device clock to reduce wireless communication interference.

    摘要: Systems and methods for coordinating performance parameters in multiple domains are described. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to change a state of an electronic circuit, where the circuit includes a first domain and a second domain, causing a first parameter of a first circuit serving the first domain to be modified to a first modified parameter based on the request, and causing a second parameter of a second circuit serving the second domain to be modified to a second modified parameter based on the request. In some cases, a parameter may include a clock frequency. In other cases, a parameter may include a voltage. In some embodiments, a system may be implemented as a logic circuit and/or as a system-on-a-chip (SoC). Devices suitable for using these systems include, for example, desktop and laptop computers, tablets, network appliances, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, e-book readers, televisions, and game consoles.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a control circuit is configured to transmit operations to a circuit block that is being powered up after being powered down, to reinitialize the circuit block for operation. The operations may be stored in a memory (e.g. a set of registers) to which the control circuit is coupled. In an embodiment, the control circuit may also be configured to transmit other operations from the memory to the circuit block prior to the circuit block being powered down. Accordingly, the circuit block may be powered up or powered down even during times that the processors in the system are powered down (and thus software is not executable at the time), without waking the processors for the power up/power down event. In an embodiment, the circuit block may be a cache coupled to the one or more processors.

    摘要: A method and system is disclosed for accessing I/O and memory devices utilizing a DMA controller. Each device may be connected to the DMA controller through an individual channel. Clocking circuitry in the DMA may allow the DMA controller to send signals to each device at a prescribed frequency. Furthermore, the DMA controller is capable of activating and deactivating a channel clock, used in sending signals to the devices, based on the operational status of the individual devices. The DMA controller is also capable of tuning the channel clock dependant on the capabilities of any active devices. In this manner, the amount of bandwidth used during a DMA data transfer can be tailored to the specific requirements of the devices involved with the data transfer.

    摘要: A method of operating a media player is provided. In one embodiment the method includes receiving a plurality of initially configured video settings for viewing a video segment on the media player for a desired playback duration. The method further includes determining power required to play the video segment based on the initial video settings and playing the video segment if the required power matches or is less than total power available to the media player. In another embodiment, the method may further include, if the required power exceeds the total power available to the media player, adjusting one or more of the initial video settings, either automatically or by user inputs, to reduce the power required to play the requested video segment for the desired playback duration.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a cache stores tags for cache blocks stored in the cache. Each tag may include an indication identifying which of two or more replacement policies supported by the cache is in use for the corresponding cache block, and a replacement record indicating the status of the corresponding cache block in the replacement policy. Requests may include a replacement attribute that identifies the desired replacement policy for the cache block accessed by the request. If the request is a miss in the cache, a cache block storage location may be allocated to store the corresponding cache block. The tag associated with the cache block storage location may be updated to include the indication of the desired replacement policy, and the cache may manage the block in accordance with the policy. For example, in an embodiment, the cache may support both an LRR and an LRU policy.
