Abstract: In an embodiment, a system may include a plurality of component circuits. The plurality of component circuits may include rate control circuits the control power consumption in the component circuits based on indications of power allocated to the component circuits. In an embodiment, the rate control circuits may transmit power requests for the component circuits and a floor request representing a minimum amount of power that may ensure reliable operation.

Abstract: A system includes multiple hardware circuits and protection circuitry. The multiple hardware circuits are coupled to respective power domains having respective sets of domain-specific power settings. The protection circuitry is configured to monitor requests in which one or more of the hardware circuits request transitions between the domain-specific power settings, to determine, from among multiple system-level combinations of the domain-specific power settings, a subset of system-level combinations that could potentially be traversed in performing the requested transitions, and to initiate a responsive action upon detecting that any of the system-level combinations in the subset is specified as invalid.
