Application-specific integrated circuit`s power managing method for e.g. steering sensor, involves disconnecting power supplied to circuit after power supplied to circuit during ON time, and data from circuit is stored in latches

摘要

The method involves determining time duration after a signal is valid, and determining an update rate of the signal. A power is supplied to the integrated circuit based on the time duration and the update rate. The power supplied to the circuit is disconnected for a period of time based on the rate after the power supplied to the circuit during ON time, and data from the circuit is stored in latches. An independent claim is also included for a system for managing power consumed by a circuit operable to output a signal.
