Abstract
Power-state transitioning arrangements are implemented using a variety of methods. Using one such method, a power-state transitioning circuit arrangement is implemented having a processing circuit that does not include an arithmetic logic unit. A power-state transition script including instructions from an instruction set is stored in a memory circuit. The processing circuit implements the power-state transition script to facilitate a change in a power-state of another processor circuit.
