TECHNIQUES FOR INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF SENSOR CONTROLLERS

摘要

Methods and apparatus relating to increasing energy efficiency of sensor controllers are described. In an embodiment logic (e.g. within a sensor controller) performs one or more tasks corresponding to acquisition of data from one or more sensors. The logic performs the one or more tasks to allow a processor core of the sensor controller to enter (or stay in) a low power consumption state during performance of the one or more data acquisition tasks. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
