Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to DC power management. A sequencer may be configured to execute a first command, wherein the first command is associated with a unique group tag; compare the unique group tag to a master group tag; determine if an interrupt is detected; lock the master group tag to yield a locked master group tag; execute a second command, wherein the second command is associated with the locked master group tag; determine that an end of commands in the locked master group tag is reached and execute a sequence jump through command to put a processor back to a regular power state.
