Abstract

Systems and methods related to hardware controlled power domains in a hardware system (e.g., an integrated circuit) are disclosed. In one embodiment, fully automatic power on and power off of the power domains in the hardware system is provided without software involvement. In this manner, power up and power down times for the power domains are substantially reduced or minimized, which in turn enables shorter active times for the power domains and thus reduced power consumption (e.g., reduced leakage when hardware in the power domains is idle).
