A method (200) for reducing power consumption of transistor-based circuit, the method including receiving (230) a low power mode indication; determining (240) whether to supply power to at least a portion of the transistor-based circuit in response to a reset value of the transistor-based circuit and a state of the transistor-based circuit prior the receiving of the low power mode indication, and selectively providing (250) power to at least a portion of the transistor-based circuit. An apparatus (200) for reducing power consumption of a transistor-based circuit (100), the apparatus being connected to the transistor-based circuit, and being adapted to receive a low power mode indication, wherein the apparatus includes: means (38) for determining whether to supply power to at least a portion of the transistor-based circuit in response a state of the transistor-based circuit prior the receiving of the low power mode indication; and means for power gating (40, 42), adapted to selectively provide power to at least a portion of the transistor-based circuit in response to the determination. |
