ABSTRACT:
A system and method of controlling power consumption are provided. The example method may be directed to controlling power consumption in a system including first and second interface blocks, and may include transitioning a first interface block to a power saving mode in response to a status of a first transmission channel, the first transmission channel configured to forward information from the first interface block to a second interface block and transitioning a second interface block to the power saving mode in response to a status of a second transmission channel, the second transmission channel configured to forward information from the second interface block to the first interface block. The example system may include a first interface block transitioning to a power saving mode in response to a status of a first transmission channel and a second interface block transitioning to the power saving mode in response to a status of a second transmission channel, the first transmission channel configured to forward information from the first interface block to the second interface block and the second transmission channel configured to forward information from the second interface block to the first interface block.
