This item lets you set the period of time after which
the system enters into Doze mode. In this mode, the
CPU clock slows down. The ratio is specified in the
"Throttle Duty Cycle". Any activity detected returns the
system to full power. The system activity (or event) is
detected by monitoring the IRQ signals.
