    摘要: A System-on-a-Chip (SoC) comprising a controller, an activity counter, a reference pattern detection logic, a master pattern detection logic, an arbiter, a comparator, a tracker circuit, a delay cell circuit, and a request mask circuit coupled to a bus. The bus is configured to support master control. The controller is configured to cause components to enter a low power state. The activity counter is configured to monitor activity. The detection logics are configured to operate on an activity based clock or always on clock. The arbiter is configured to select an initiator. The comparator is configured to compare the output of the detection logics. The tracker circuit is configured to track selection of components. The delay cell circuit is configured to store output of components. The request mask circuit is configured to prevent request to arbiter or any arbiter selected request made from a previous clock cycle.
