Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention can receive an indication to place a peripheral device in a low power state. The peripheral device can be coupled to a system through a point-to-point, AC coupled bus structure. To enter the low power state, operating power to the peripheral device can be disabled.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- receiving an indication to place a peripheral device in a low power state, said peripheral device being coupled to a system through a point-to-point, AC coupled bus structure;
- and
- disabling an operating power to the peripheral device.
An apparatus comprising:
- logic to disable an operating power to a peripheral device to place the peripheral device in a low power state, said peripheral device to couple to a system through a point-to-point, AC coupled bus structure.
A machine readable medium having stored thereon machine executable instructions that, when executed, implement a method comprising:
- receiving an indication to place a peripheral device in a low power state, said peripheral device being coupled to a system through a point-to-point, AC coupled bus structure;
- and
- disabling an operating power to the peripheral device.
A system comprising:
- a notebook computer;
- a point-to-point, AC coupled bus within the notebook computer;
- a peripheral port connected to one end of the point-to-point, AC coupled bus;
- a peripheral device coupled to another end of the point-to-point, AC coupled bus;
- and
- logic to disable an operating power to the peripheral device to place the peripheral device in a low power state.
