Power managers for an integrated circuit

Systems and methods manage power in an integrated circuit using power islands. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of power islands wherein a power consumption of each power island within the plurality of power islands is independently controlled within said each power island. A power manage...

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