Abstract
Methods and apparatuses that relate to an integrated circuit (IC) with adaptive power state management are described. The IC can be coupled with, and can control the operation of, a memory device. The IC and the memory device can be operated in multiple operational states, wherein each operational state may represent a tradeoff point between performance and power consumption. The IC may be capable of: (1) changing the operational state of the IC and/or the operational state of the memory device based on the occurrence of one or more conditions, and/or (2) changing the one or more conditions based on measuring one or more performance values associated with the IC and/or the memory device.
