Abstract
An approach for data bus power control. Data input sense amplifiers of a request agent are enabled prior to a data phase of a transaction according to a data bus power control signal. Once enabled, the data input sense amplifiers can capture data provided during the data phase of the read transaction. Accordingly, the data input sense amplifiers of the request agent are disabled according to the power control signal once the data phase of the read transaction is complete.
