Abstract

See full text

Methods and system of reducing power consumption of system on chip based on analog-to-digital control circuitry are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes converting an analog signal of external device coupled to the system on chip to a digital signal using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the system on chip with a processor of the system on chip in a sleep mode or power down mode. The method further includes waking up the processor of the system on ship to perform an exception event based on a comparison of the digital signal with a threshold value associated with the external device.
