<p>A method for computing the optimal power mode for a system-on-chip (SoC) in which both the clock and Vdd settings are controlled. Information from hardware blocks is synthesized into a global power mode for the entire SoC. The clocks can be disabled or enabled, and Vdd voltages can be disabled, set at a nominal operating level, and set at a retention level in which the state of memory and registers is retained.</p> |
