`

`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Field Of The Invention
`
`This invention relates to computer systems and, more particularly, to
`
`5
`
`apparatus and methods for reducing power use by a computer system
`
`during intervals in which processing is stopped.
`
`History Of The Prior Art
`
`As computer processors have increased in ability, the number of
`
`transistors utilized has increased almost exponentially. This increase in
`
`10
`
`circuit elements has drastically increased the power requirements of
`
`such processors. As the need of power increases, the temperature at
`
`which a computer operates increases and the battery 1if e of portable
`
`computers decreases. The loss of battery life with modern portable
`
`computers greatly reduces the time during which the computer can
`
`15
`
`function as a portable device. In fact, the power usage has become so
`
`great that even with significant reduction in the process size utilized, a
`
`plethora of techniques have been implemented to reduce power usage to
`
`maintain the efficacy of portable computers.
`
`One of these techniques monitors the use of the various devices within
`
`20
`
`the computer and disables those devices that have not been utilized for
`
`some period. Because the processor utilizes a significant amount of the
`
`power (e.g., 50%) used by a portable computer, this technique is utilized
`
`to disable the processor itself when its processing requirements are
`
`unused for some interval. In the typical case, disabling the processor is
`
`ACM/NAO
`

`
`TRAN-P470

`MICROCHIP TECH. INC. - EXHIBIT 1003
`MICROCHIP TECH. INC. V. HD SILICON SOLS. - IPR2021-01265 - Page 021
`
`

`

`accomplished by terminating the system clocks furnished to the
`
`processor. When processor clocks have been disabled, controlling
`
`circuitry (typically a portion of the "Southbridge" circuitry of an X86-
`
`processor-based computer) remains enabled to detect interrupts
`
`S
`
`requiring processor operation. The receipt of such an interrupt causes
`
`the controlling circuitry to once again enable clocks to the processor so
`
`that the processor may take whatever steps are necessary to handle the
`
`basis of the interrupt.
`
`The technique of disabling the processor reduces significantly the
`
`10
`
`dissipation of power caused by the operation of the processor even at a
`
`low frequency. In fact, the technique works quite well; and it is
`
`estimated that with many portable computers the processor is placed in
`
`the state in which system clocks are disabled during approximately
`
`ninety percent of the operation of the computer. However, use of this
`
`15
`
`technique emphasizes another aspect of power loss using advanced
`
`processors. When system clocks for a processor are disabled, the
`
`processor must remain in a state (sometimes called "deep sleep") in
`
`which it is capable of rapidly responding to interrupts. Such a state
`
`requires the application of core voltage to the various circuits. The
`
`20
`
`application of this voltage generates a power dissipation referred to in
`
`this specification as "static power" usage because the processor is in its
`
`static state in which clocks are disabled. To date there has been little
`
`attention paid to this static power usage. However, the usage is very
`
`significant when a processor functions in the deep sleep mode as much
`
`25
`
`as ninety percent of the time. As process technologies continue to shrink

`

`

`in dimension and lower operating voltages, this static power increases
`
`due to lower threshold voltages and thinner gate oxides.
`
`It is desirable to furnish apparatus and methods for reducing the power
`
`use of a processor in the state in which its clocks are disabled.
`

`
`Summary Of The Invention
`
`The present invention is realized by 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 in which system clock to
`
`the processor is disabled, and reducing core voltage to the processor to a
`
`10
`
`value sufficient to maintain state during the mode in which system clock
`
`is disabled.
`
`These and other features of the invention will be better understood by
`
`reference to the detailed description which follows taken together with
`
`the drawings in which like elements are referred to by like designations
`
`15
`
`throughout the several views.
