    Abstract: Three components are used to adjust the CPU peak power based on the USB TYPE-C device states. These components include operating system (OS) Peak Power Manager, USB TYPE-C Connector Manager, and USB TYPE-C Protocol Device Driver. The USB TYPE-C Connector Manager sends a synchronous request to the OS Peak Power Manager when a USB TYPE-C power sink device is attached or detached, and the USB TYPE-C Protocol Device Driver sends a synchronous request to the Peak Power Manager when the power sink transitions device state. The Peak Power Manager takes power budget from the CPU when the USB TYPE-C connector is attached to a power sink and is active (e.g., high power device state), and gives back the power budget to the CPU for performance when the USB TYPE-C connector is either detached or the attached and power sink device is idle (lowest device state).

    Abstract: Embodiments may include systems and methods for communication including a communication port with a first lane and a second lane, a first power controller and a second power controller coupled to the communication port. The first power controller is to control, at a first time instance, the first lane to operate in a first power state selected from a first set of power states for the first lane. The second power controller is to control, at a second time instance, the second lane to operate in a second power state selected from a second set of power states for the second lane, wherein the first power state is different from the second power state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
