Abstract
A system for controlling power settings is provided that includes a plurality of components, each component configured to implement a power control algorithm. A controller is coupled to each component and configured to control a power state of each component as a function of the power control algorithm for each component. The controller comprises a state machine having a plurality of states, wherein the power control algorithm of each component is controlled by the controller as a function of a state of the state machine.
Claims18
A system for controlling power settings, comprising:
- a plurality of components, each component configured to implement a power control algorithm;
- a controller coupled to each component and configured to control a power state of each component as a function of the power control algorithm for each component;
- and
- wherein the controller comprises a state machine having a plurality of states, wherein the power control algorithm of each component is controlled by the controller as a function of a state of the state machine.
A method for controlling power settings, comprising:
- configuring each of a plurality of components to implement a dedicated power control algorithm associated with the component;
- configuring a controller coupled to each component to control a power state of each component as a function of the power control algorithm for each component;
- and
- controlling the power control algorithm of each component as a function of a state of a state machine.
