Android sleep

1. Wake up
write on /sys/power/state
2. Sleep
write mem /sys/power/state

Why mem?
I think mem means that suspend to RAM (memory).

and https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/states.txt

 - In the Microsoft web site, search "C# specification"
 - Download & read it

2. Inside C#

3. C# in Depth

HVT, LVT

http://www.edaboard.com/thread135577.html

HVT - High V threshold. Can be used in the path where timing is not critical. So by using HVT cells we can save power.
LVT - Low V threshold. One should use these cells in timing critical paths. These cells are fast but , comsumes more power due to its leakage. So it will consume more power. So use only when timing is critical.
SVT - Standard V threshold. Best of both world. Medium delay and medium power requirment. So if timing is not met by small magin with HVT, you should try with SVT. And at last LVT.

Do you know PS HOLD, PS_HOLD, PSHOLD?

PS HOLD stands for Power Supply HOLD in processor.

From the st document you can find the word.
 "For a successful startup, the PSHOLD (power supply hold) needs to be pulled high within specific time, tON_BLANK"
