ABSTRACT:
A power conservation system for use in a computer system. The power conservation system has an activity monitor and a plurality of modes of operation. The power conservation system has a power switching unit which couples the power supply to a selected group of the computer system circuits depending upon the power mode of operation. By controlling the power mode in response to the activity of the computer system, the power consumption of the computer system can be controlled.
