Zusammenfassung:Methods and associated apparatus to reduce electrical power consumption in an information channel may include identifying times at which to restore power to elements in the information channel, and restoring power to the elements at the identified times. Times for each element are identified based on a recovery time for that element to reach a sufficiently stable operating point before a transition to an active mode of operation. By maximizing the length of time individual elements may stay in the reduced power mode, power savings may be maximized without negatively affecting information channel performance.
