Processor powerdown operation using intermittent bursts of instruction clock

摘要: An instruction clock of a processing unit in low power mode accordance with the principles present invention is qualified burst control signal. The signal allowed to start and stop flow relevant unit. In disclosed embodiment, master by circuit provide bursts an To operate cycle unit, user pre-programs length, into register set length cycles A maximum counter value sets period provided As long as current less than or equal pre-programmed allows controller pass other thus savings adjustable according combined values value.
