Abstract

Disclosed are a power-aware method, a power-aware system and a converter. The power-aware method includes: receiving an input signal, wherein the input signal is a capacitive type, a resistive type, a voltage type or a current type, coarsely quantizing the input signal and outputting a numerical control code, the numerical control code indicating size information of the input signals, and turning on a corresponding number of power-consuming modules based on the numerical control code. By the power-aware method, the power-aware technical effect of a circuit may be provided and turned-on power-consuming modules always have the most suitable number regardless of the size of the input signals, which may ensure normal operation, and will not waste power consumption due to too many power-consuming modules and energy efficiency is improved as a whole.
