Abstract
Embodiments of a system, method and apparatus are described for reducing power consumption of a battery-powered electronic device. A hardware polling peripheral operates in conjunction with a CPU within the battery-powered electronic device. When the CPU enters a quiescent state in order to save power, the hardware polling peripheral begins the polling cycle that polls one or more I/O pins of the hardware polling peripheral to detect a change in state. Polling is controlled by hardware registers and digital logic circuits without the use of firmware. When the hardware polling peripheral determines that an I/O pin has changed state, it wakes the CPU from the quiescent state via an interrupt.
