Power Control

10.1About power control

The features of the processor that improve energy efficiency include:

support for Intelligent Energy Management (IEM)

accurate branch and return prediction, reducing the number of incorrect instruction fetch and decode operations

use of physically addressed caches to reduce the number of cache flushes and refills, saving energy in the system

the use of MicroTLBs reduces the power consumed in translation and protection look-ups each cycle

the caches use sequential access information to reduce the number of accesses to the TagRAMs and to unwanted Data RAMs.

In the processor extensive use is also made of gated clocks and gates to disable inputs to unused functional blocks. Only the logic actively in use to perform a calculation consumes any dynamic power.
