Abstract
A method for communication is disclosed and includes, in a single chip including a plurality of on-chip devices, acquiring, from at least one of the plurality of on-chip devices, power information for the at least one of the plurality of on-chip devices. The acquiring may be in response to a query signal received by the at least one of the plurality of on-chip devices. An output signal indicative of power status of the at least one of the plurality of on-chip devices may be generated from within the chip, based on the acquired power information. The acquired power information may be communicated to the off-chip device. The acquired power information may be wirelessly communicated to the off-chip device via an antenna or an infrared transmitter on the single chip. The acquired power information may be communicated to an off-chip device via a wired connection on the single chip.
