Latest Patents
Kenny Xu holds a patent for a USB power conservation method and apparatus. This invention describes a method and system for conserving power used in a central processing unit (CPU). The embodiment utilizes direct memory access (DMA) fetch suspend logic, allowing the CPU to remain in a sleep state indefinitely until a break event occurs. The patent includes power management monitoring and Universal Serial Bus (USB) descriptor monitoring logic. The power management monitor logic tracks the CPU's sleep state and sets a status flag for the USB descriptor monitoring logic whenever the CPU is in a predefined sleep state. The USB descriptor monitoring logic oversees the fetching of linked descriptor lists. When the CPU status flag is raised, it triggers the monitoring of the descriptor fetch by the USB descriptor monitoring logic. If the USB controller has completed all descriptor fetches while the CPU sleep flag is true, this logic sets a flag to suspend DMA fetch operations.
