MANAGEMENT OF POWER ON INTEGRATED CIRCUIT USING POWER ISLAND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently use power consumption in an integrated circuit.

SOLUTION: Systems and methods manage power in an integrated circuit using power islands. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of the power islands where power consumption is independently controlled within each of the power islands. A power manager determines a target power level for one of the power islands. The power manager determines an action to change a power consumption level of the one of the power islands to the target power level. The power manager performs the action to change the power consumption level of the one of the power islands to the target power level.
