Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a power specification and Network on Chip (NoC) having a power supervisor (PS) unit. The specification is utilized to generate a NoC with power domains and clock domains. The PS is configured with one or more power domain finite state machines (PDFSMs) that drive signaling for the power domains of the NoC, and is configured to power the NoC elements of the power domain on or off. NoC elements are configured to conduct fencing or draining operations to facilitate the power state transitions.
