ABSTRACT:
A system for activating and deactivating a hardware device including a first stage electronic deactivation unit operative, responsive to a deactivation request, to perform a first deactivation operation including deactivation of a first portion of the hardware device having low wake-up latency at a first time, a second stage electronic deactivation unit including a breaking distance timer activated subsequently to the deactivation request and operative to deactivate a second portion of the hardware device having high wake-up latency at a subsequent second time separated from the first time, and a power management system including a power source and a power supply regulator operative to control the supply of power in accordance with a selectable one of a plurality of regulator settings, selected using a hardware setting selector. Responsive to a wakeup event, the first portion of the hardware device is reactivated and the breaking distance timer is deactivated.
