Abstract

Systems and methods for entry and exit latency reduction for low power states are described. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method initiates an energy-efficient low power state (e.g., deep sleep state) to reduce power consumption of a device. The method sets a power supply voltage that provides sufficient power to a dual power supply array for retention of states. Logic is powered down in this low power state.
