POWER MANAGEMENT FOR PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17715792 Titled 'POWER MANAGEMENT FOR PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a power management system for a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) link. The system monitors the traffic activity for both transmitting and receiving data on the link. It manages the power of the transmit lines and receive lines separately based on their respective traffic activities. This means that the power management for transmitting data is independent of the power management for receiving data.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to power management for a peripheral component interconnect. Transmit traffic activity may be monitored for a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) link. Receive traffic activity may also be monitored for the link A first power of transmit lines of the link is managed as a transmit group in accordance with the transmit traffic activity. A second power of the receive lines of the link are managed as a receive group in accordance with the receive traffic activity. The first power of the transmit lines is managed independently of the second power of the receive lines.
