Abstract
A communication device includes a voice data and RF integrated circuit (IC) that includes a memory module that stores a least one application as a plurality of operational instructions, the at least one application having a plurality of power modes that each correspond to one of a plurality of use characteristics. A processing module executes the plurality of operational instructions and determines a selected one of the plurality of power modes based on current use characteristics of the at least one application, and the generates a power mode signal based on the selected one of the plurality of power modes. An off-chip power management circuit receives the power mode signal and that generates a plurality of power supply signals to the voice data and RF IC based on the power mode signal.
