Abstract
A method and an apparatus for power filtering in a Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) are described. In the method and apparatus, power consumption reduction is achieved by suppressing physical address (PA) reads from random access memory (RAM) if the previously translated linear address (LA), or virtual address (VA), is the same as the currently requested LA. To provide the correct translation, the output of the TLB is maintained if the previously translated LA and the LA currently requested for translation are the same.
