    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing connections between multiple internal integrated circuits (ICs) of, for example, a high-speed internal device interface. Improved schemes for coordination of connection and disconnection events, and/or suspension and resumption of operation for a High-Speed Inter-Chip TM (HSIC) interface are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a "device"-initiated and "host'-initiated connect/disconnect procedure is disclosed, that provides improved timing, synchronization, and power consumption.

    Abstract: A communication link between a host device and a client device can be suspended based on a suspend request or notification provided by the client device. The suspend request can be transmitted by a client device to a host device if the client device determines that suspension is appropriate, and can be sent in response to receiving a polling request from the host device. After receiving a suspend request, the host device can initiate an operation to suspend the communication link between the devices.

    Abstract translation: 可以基于由客户端设备提供的挂起请求或通知来暂停主机设备和客户端设备之间的通信链路。 如果客户端设备确定暂停是适当的,则可以由客户端设备向主机设备发送挂起请求,并且可以响应于从主机设备接收到轮询请求而发送挂起请求。 在收到挂起请求之后,主机设备可以发起暂停通信链路的操作。

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) includes a component that remains powered when the remainder of the SOC is powered off. The component may include a sensor capture unit to capture data from various device sensors, and may filter the captured sensor data. Responsive to the filtering, the component may wake up the remainder of the SOC to permit the processing. The component may store programmable configuration data, matching the state at the time the SOC was most recently powered down, for the other components of the SOC, in order to reprogram them after wakeup. In some embodiments, the component may be configured to wake up the memory controller within the SOC and the path to the memory controller, in order to write the data to memory. The remainder of the SOC may remain powered down.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中,芯片上的系统(SOC)包括当SOC的其余部分断电时保持供电的组件。 该组件可以包括用于从各种设备传感器捕获数据的传感器捕获单元,并且可以对所捕获的传感器数据进行过滤。 响应于过滤,组件可以唤醒SOC的剩余部分以允许处理。 组件可以存储可编程配置数据,与SOC最近断电时的状态相匹配,用于SOC的其他组件,以便在唤醒后重新编程它们。 在一些实施例中,组件可以被配置为唤醒SOC内的存储器控​​制器和到存储器控制器的路径,以便将数据写入存储器。 SOC的其余部分可能仍然断电。

    Abstract: A host/peripheral local interconnect that is compatible with a self- configurable peripheral device is described. According to processes discussed herein, the peripheral device is self-configured. The host device may be kept aware of the self-configured state of the peripheral device, and/or self-configured changes made at the peripheral device. The host device may scale its applications/uses of the peripheral device in light of such awareness.
