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 mode in which system clock is disabled.

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

Saving power when in or transitioning to a static mode of a processor

A method for controlling the power used by a computer including the steps of measuring the operating characteristics of a central processor of the computer, determining when the operating characteristics of the central processor are significantly different than required by the operations being conducted, and changing the operating characteristics of the central processor to a level commensurate with the operations being conducted.

Adaptive power control

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

Transitioning to and from a sleep state of a processor

A method for securing a scan chain architecture by performing an authentication operation through a trusted software layer to authorize use of a protected scan chain.

Providing trusted access to a JTAG scan interface in a microprocessor

Method and system for providing trusted access to a JTAG scan interface in a microprocessor

Apparatus including functional components of circuitry defined on a semiconductor chip, the functional components including a component having modifiable operating characteristics, a performance measuring circuit providing an output indicative of operating characteristics of the circuitry defined on the semiconductor chip during operation of the circuitry, and computer implemented software means for controlling a value for an operating characteristic of the component having modifiable operating characteristics in response to the output provided by the performance measuring circuit.
