Abstract: Design and operation of a processing device is configurable to optimize wake-up time and peak power cost during restoration of a machine state from non-volatile storage. The processing device includes a plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays configured to store a machine state represented by a plurality of volatile storage elements of the processing device. A stored machine state is read out from the plurality of non-volatile logic element arrays to the plurality of volatile storage elements. During manufacturing, a number of rows and a number of bits per row in non-volatile logic element arrays are based on a target wake up time and a peak power cost. In another approach, writing data to or reading data of the plurality of non-volatile arrays can be done in parallel, sequentially, or in any combination to optimize operation characteristics.

Abstract: A computing device apparatus facilitates use of a deep low power mode that includes powering off the device's CPU by including a hardware implemented process to trigger storage of data from the device's volatile storage elements in non-volatile memory in response to entering the low power mode. A hardware based power management unit controls the process including interrupting a normal processing order of the CPU and triggering the storage of the data in the non-volatile memory. In response to a wake-up event, the device is triggered to restore the data stored in the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory prior to execution of a wake up process for the CPU from the low power mode. The device includes a power storage element such as a capacitor that holds sufficient energy to complete the non-volatile data storage task prior to entering the low power mode.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include non-volatile counter systems to generate and store a counter value according to a sensor pulse signal, and power circuits to generate first and second supply voltage signals to power first and second power domain circuits using power from the sensor pulse signal, including a switch connected between first and second power domain supply nodes, a boost circuit, and a control circuit to selectively cause the switch to disconnect the first and second power domain circuits from one another after the first supply voltage signal rises above a threshold voltage in a given pulse of the sensor pulse signal, and to cause the boost circuit to boost the second supply voltage signal after the regulator output is disconnected from the second power domain supply node in the given pulse.

Abstract: Configuration states for a computing device and/or associated peripherals (“profiles”) are stored in one or more non-volatile logic (“NVL”) arrays. Using the non-volatile sub-system for the computing device, triggers for reconfiguration of the respective device or peripherals are provided to an NVL array controller, which controls provision of the new profile(s) for the respective device or peripherals over a dedicated bus to a configuration register that stores the active profiles for the device and associated peripherals.

Abstract: A computing device apparatus facilitates use of a deep low power mode that includes powering off the device's CPU by including a software routine configured to be run by the CPU that effects saving to a non-volatile memory a state of the CPU and/or the device's peripherals before entering the deep low-power mode. The software routine can be configured to control this state storage in response to detecting a low power event, i.e., loss of power sufficient to run the CPU, or a software command to enter the deep low power mode to save power as part of an efficiency program. Then, upon wake up from the deep low power mode, the software routine is first run by the CPU to effect restoring from the non-volatile memory the state of the CPU and the peripherals before execution of a primary application for the central processing unit.

Abstract: A processing device boots or wakes using non-volatile logic element (NVL) array(s) that store a machine state. A standard boot sequence is used to restore a first portion of data. A second portion of data is restored, in parallel with the standard boot sequence, from the NVL array(s). A data corruption check is performed on the second portion of data. If the second data is valid, a standard boot sequence is used to restore a third portion of data. If the second data is invalid or the boot is an initial boot, a standard boot sequence is executed to determine the second portion of data, which is then stored in the NVL array(s). The processing device restores the second portion of the data during a portion of the boot/wake process that is not reading data from other non-volatile devices to avoid overloading the respective power domain.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a dual-port negative level sensitive reset data retention latch contains a clocked inverter and a dual-port latch. Data is clocked through the clocked inverter when clock signal CKT goes low, CLKZ goes high, reset control signal REN is high and retention control signal RET is low. The dual-port latch is configured to receive the output of the clocked inverter, a second data bit D2, the clock signals CKT and CLKZ, the retain control signal RET, the reset control signal REN and the control signals SS and SSN. The signals CKT, CLKZ, RET, REN, SS and SSN determine whether the output of the clocked inverter or the second data bit D2 is latched in the dual-port latch. Control signal RET determines when data is stored in the dual-port latch during retention mode.
