Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a rising edge detector to detect a rising edge in a signal. The apparatus may also include a counter to perform a count to a first value based on an input clock signal. The apparatus may also include an output unit to generate a sleep signal after the first value is reached if the rising edge detector does not detect the rising edge in the signal.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- a rising edge detector to detect a rising edge in a signal;
- a counter to perform a count to a first value based on an input clock signal;
- and
- an output unit to generate a sleep signal after the first value is reached if the rising edge detector does not detect the rising edge in the signal.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a system on a chip comprising at least one core having at least one execution unit and receiver logic, the receiver logic comprising:
- a falling edge detector to detect a falling edge in a signal;
- a rising edge detector to detect a rising edge in the signal;
- a counter to perform a count to a first value in response to the falling edge detector detecting the falling edge in the signal;
- an output unit to generate a sleep signal after the count when the rising edge detector does not detect the rising edge in the signal;
- and
- a wireless device coupled to the system on the chip via an interconnect, the interconnect used to communicate data between the wireless device and the receiver logic of the system on the chip.
4 more elements
A method comprising:
- detecting, in a receiver logic of a first device, a falling edge in a signal;
- in response to detecting the falling edge, initiating a delay period based on an input clock signal;
- and
- in response to completing the delay period, generating a sleep signal until detecting a rising edge in the signal.
