20120102342 | ACTIVE DISPLAY PROCESSOR SLEEP STATE - Power consumption and dissipation is reduced during active display of content from an internal display buffer using a power supply topology that powers a display subsystem separately from the other components of a CPU. The power supply topology enables a processor to enter a sleep state without disabling the active display of content. The processor enters a processor sleep state when the display buffer is full and the processor components are no longer needed. The processor exits the processor sleep state when the display buffer is empty and operates in conjunction with the display subsystem to fill the buffer with more content. The processor continues to enter and exit the processor sleep states as appropriate until active display ends. | 04-26-2012 |
