FEEDBACK FOR POWER MANAGEMENT OF A MEMORY DIE USING A DEDICATED PIN
A memory device may include a pin for communicating feedback regarding a supply voltage to a power management component, such as a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). The memory device may bias the pin to a first voltage indicating that a supply voltage is within a target range. The memory device may subsequently determine that a supply voltage is outside the target range and transition the voltage at the pin from the first voltage to a second voltage indicating that the supply voltage is outside the target range. The memory device may select the second voltage based on whether the supply voltage is above or below the target range.
LOW-POWER VISION SENSING
Methods, systems, and apparatus, for performing low-power vision sensing. One computing device includes a vision sensor configured to generate vision sensor data and an ambient computing system configured to repeatedly process the vision sensor data generated by the vision sensor according to a low-power detection process. If a detection is indicated by the low-power detection process, the ambient computing system wakes one or more other components of the computing device to perform a high-power detection process using the vision sensor data.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN COMPUTE CIRCUITS
Systems and methods increase computational efficiency in machine learning accelerators. In embodiments, this is accomplished by evaluating, partitioning, and selecting computational resources to uniquely process, accumulate, and store data based on the type of the data and configuration parameters that are used to process the data. Various embodiments, take advantage of the zeroing feature of a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) controller to cause a BIST circuit to create a known state for a hardware accelerator, e.g., during a startup and/or wakeup phase, thereby, reducing data movements and transitions to save both time and energy.

Dual processor system for reduced power application processing
A task processor has a low power connectivity processor and a high performance applications processor. Software processes have a component operative on a connectivity processor and a component operative on an applications processor. The low power connectivity processor is coupled to a low power front end for wireless packets and the high performance applications processor is coupled to a high performance front end. A power controller is coupled to the low power front end and enables the applications processor and high performance front end when wireless packets which require greater processing capacity are received, and removes power from the applications processor and high performance front end at other times.
