Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to reducing pin count requirements for implementation of interconnect idle state(s) are described. In one embodiment, logic receives a general purpose input signal on a signal pin of an Input/Output (I/O) complex logic in response to a control signal. An I/O device (e.g., coupled to the I/O complex logic) enters a low power consumption state in response to the control signal. The logic receives a wake signal on the signal pin of the I/O complex logic and the I/O device exits the low power consumption state in response to the wake signal. Other embodiments are also claimed and disclosed.
