Saving power when in or transitioning to a static mode of a processor by using feedback-configured voltage regulator

A method for reducing power utilized by a processor including the steps of determining that a processor is transitioning from a computing mode to a mode is which system clock to the processor is disabled, and reducing core voltage to the processor to a value sufficient to maintain state during the m...
