What does "partial-power-down" mean?
How to implement this "partial power-down"?
:arrow::arrow:
 

can you give little more explanation for the question?
 

Hi ,

If I understand correctly , This is one of the SOC methodolgy to shut down power to some of the hard macros like memories and you can shutdown power to functionality of subsys too .

partition of which domains need to be in separate power is depends on your architecture

ex: you can shut down power to onchip SRAM ( scratch pad) while processor is in standy ....

please let me know if you have specific queries ....


THanks & Regards
Yln

Yeah, you are quite right, it means shut down some of the subsystem of your chip or product which has no operation currently to reduce the power consumption.

I met with this problem during the analyse of a bus-interface circuit. Thanks for your help, yln2k2 and beta0
