Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A microcontroller system is organized into power domains. A power manager of the microcontroller system can change the power configuration of a power domain in response to event from an event generating module without activating a processor of the microcontroller system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A microcontroller system comprising: a processor; a power manager coupled to the processor; and an event generating module coupled to the power manager; wherein the microcontroller system is organized into a plurality of power domains, including a first power domain including the processor and a second power domain different from the first power domain, the event generating module being in a different power domain from the processor and the second powe…
