Abstract
A power conservation system for use in a computer system. The power conservation system has an activity mointor and a plurality of modes of operation. By controlling the power mode of operation in response to the activity of the computer system, the power consumption of the computer system is controlled. Coupling of circuit power and clock signals are used to control power consumption and both hardware and software components may separately or together monitor and control operation.
