ABSTRACT:
A bus has two power consumption modes. A variable bus termination impedance is controlled to provide different bus termination impedances. A controller is coupled to the bus and includes a variable clock having different frequencies that are selectively provided to the controller. The impedance is increased or decreased responsive to the frequency being provided to the controller.
