SNVA453B August 2011 – January 2022 LM10500
PowerWise adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) technology is an advanced closed-loop technology for reducing active and standby energy consumption of digital processing engines and ASICs. Hardware performance monitor (HPM) is designed into the digital engine together with an advanced power controller (APC) to monitor the performance of the silicon based on process and temperature variation. Information is fed back to an energy management unit (EMU), which then sets the voltage precisely according to the needs of the processor. The AVS technology enables optimum power delivery to the processors, ASICs, and SoCs, which maximizes overall system energy savings. AVS technology is process and architecture independent.
