Estimating the term…
A driver (e.g., a firmware or software) that improves the performance of the system-on-chip (SoC) in battery mode. The driver is a Peak Power Manager (PPM) which allows drastically higher SoC peak power limit levels (and thus higher Turbo performance) in battery mode. The PPM sets the Vth threshold voltage (the voltage level at which the platform will throttle the SoC) in such a way as to prevent the system from unexpected shutdown (or black screening). The PPM calculates the Psoc,pk SoC Peak Power Limit (e.g., PL4), according to the threshold voltage (Vth). These are two dependent parameters, if one is set, the other can be calculated. The scheme by the PPM is used to optimally set one parameter (Vth) based on the system parameters, and the history of the operation.
