Patent ID: 7739533

Claim:
A state predictive power management system, the power management system comprising: a first event circuit, wherein the first event circuit includes functionality associated with a first event; a second event circuit, wherein the second event circuit includes functionality associated with a second event; a first event clock and a second event clock, wherein the first event clock is operable to clock the first event circuit, and the second event clock is operable to clock the second event circuit; a power management controller, wherein the power management controller includes: a state prediction module, wherein the state prediction module is operable to predict the occurrence of a first event and the occurrence of a second event; a first clock control circuit, wherein the first clock control circuit is operable to provide the first event clock based at least in part on the prediction of the first event; a second clock control circuit, wherein the second clock control circuit is operable to provide the second event clock based at least in part on the prediction of the second event; and a translator interface operable to receive a standardized command and to translate the standardized command into a command tailored for the power management controller.
