ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus operative in a portable electronic device having a processor and a switching mode power supply detect entry of the processor into a power saving mode during active operations and signal the switching mode power supply that the processor has entered a power saving mode. In response to the signaling the switching mode power supply optimizes its operating state in order to increase power supply efficiency.
