This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18820442 titled 'REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION ASSOCIATED WITH FREQUENCY TRANSITIONING IN A MEMORY INTERFACE
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are disclosed for frequency transitioning in a memory interface system. Techniques disclosed include receiving a signal indicative of a change in operating frequency, into a new frequency, in a processing unit interfacing with memory via the memory interface system; switching the system from a normal mode of operation into a transition mode of operation; updating control and state register (CSR) banks of respective transceivers of the system through a mission bus used during the normal mode of operation; and operating the system in the new frequency.
