ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for signaling power management events between integrated circuit devices in a computer system. The method includes the step of receiving in a first device one of a plurality of signals indicating a power management event that affects power management of a second device. The method also includes the step of encoding the signal received and transmitting the encoded signal to a power management device. The encoded signal is decoded in the power management device and a particular power management signal is transmitted to the second device from the power management device. In one embodiment, the step of encoding includes configuring a plurality of serial bits for transmission to the power management device, wherein the particular configuration of the serial bits indicates particular power management information.
