Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to power bridge circuitry comprising a first interface configured to interface with a source power domain; a second interface configured to interface with a target power domain; transition circuitry to receive a transition indication that the power bridge circuitry is to transition to an idle state; communication circuitry to communicate messages between the interfaces; and message identification circuitry to identify messages communicated by the communication circuitry, the identification circuitry being configured to detect the communication of a given message directed to a target component connected to the second interface and indicating cessation of communication between the target component and a source component connected to the first interface. The transition circuitry is configured, responsive to receiving the transition indication and responsive to the message identification circuitry detecting communication of the given message, to initiate a transition of the power bridge circuitry to the idle state.
