Abstract:
A device for controlling power parameters in a microprocessor includes a resource activation control unit for controlling the maximum power of the microprocessor and two or more resources. The resource activation control unit controls the activation of the resources such that the consumed and dissipated power of the microprocessor does not exceed a power bound which is configurable to a predetermined value below the maximum power.
Abstract:
A device for controlling power parameters in a microprocessor (10) includes a resource activation control unit (12) for controlling the maximum power of the microprocessor (10) and two or more resources (26 1 , 26 2 , 26 3 ). The resource activation control unit (12) controls the activation of the resources (26 1, 26 2 , 26 3 ).such that the consumed and dissipated power of the microprocessor (10) does not exceed a power bound which is configurable to a predetermined value below the maximum power.
