INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE, POWER MANAGEMENT MODULE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING POWER MANAGEMENT

摘要

An integrated circuit device comprising at least one memory module comprising a plurality of memory sub-modules, and at least one power management module arranged to provide power management for the at least one memory module. The at least one power management module is arranged to determine when content of at least one memory sub-module is redundant, and place the at least one memory sub-module into a powered-down state upon determining that content of the at least one memory sub-module is redundant.
