Abstract:
A computer system includes a system chip and a plurality of peripheral devices. The system chip includes a plurality of modules. Each module includes a controller. Each controller receives an independent power supply and is powered on or off according to a GPIO port signal. The peripheral devices via connectors or slots connect to corresponding controllers. When parts of controllers do not connect to peripheral devices, the controllers that are not connected are powered off to reduce the power consumption of the system chip.
