Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to align processing events. An example apparatus includes a comparator to compare a value of a counter to a threshold value, the threshold value associated with an amount of time to defer provision of a first or second input signal to a corresponding first or second IP device, respectively, signal deferring circuitry to defer provision of the first or second input signals to a corresponding one of the first or second IP devices based on an output of the comparator, deferral of the first or second input signals to cause alignment of first and second processing events performed by the first and second IP devices, respectively, and power controlling circuitry to cause the first and second IP devices to power down based on completion of the first and second processing events.
