Abstract
A method including: accounting for a transition time for a device to transition between two of first, second, and powered off states; generating a control signal based on the transition time; receiving, at the device and from a processor, an output signal and the control signal; and consuming power, via the device, while operating in the first state and the second state. The method further includes: in response to the control signal, transitioning the device to the second state based on a frequency of the output signal or the control signal; subsequent to transitioning to the second state, performing a function based on the first output signal; and subsequent to performing the function, generating an output via the device; generating a feedback signal based on the output; and based on the feedback signal, transitioning the device to either the first state or the powered off state.
