Claim:
1. A method for managing power consumption in a power domain of a portable computing device (“PCD”), the method comprising: setting a peak dynamic power threshold to an initial level; monitoring temperature of one or more processing components of a system on a chip (“SoC”); monitoring voltage levels supplied to the one or more processing components; calculating an available level for the peak dynamic power threshold representing a remaining amount of power that may be allocated to the one or more processing components, wherein the available level is based on the leakage power level calculated from the monitored temperature and voltage levels associated with the one or more processing components; determining that the available level of the peak dynamic power threshold differs from the initial level of the peak dynamic power threshold; adjusting the peak dynamic power threshold to the available level; and based on the adjusted peak dynamic power threshold, triggering adjustments to a throttling level for one or more functional blocks of one or more of the processing components.
