1. A peak power manager, comprising:
a first power estimate accumulator circuit configured to receive one or more power estimates associated with one or more subsystems and generate a first accumulated power estimate;
a first-in first-out (FIFO) storage circuit configured to store a plurality of first accumulated power estimates associated with a plurality of clock cycles corresponding to a moving time interval window;
a second power estimate accumulator circuit configured to accumulate the plurality of first accumulated power estimates to generate a second accumulated power estimate;
a control circuit configured to:
compare the second accumulated power estimate with a threshold power; and
generate a control signal to control one or more events at the one or more subsystems in response to the second accumulated power estimate satisfying a condition associated with the threshold power; and
a leakage consumption accumulator circuit configured to receive one or more leakage consumptions from the one or more subsystems and generate a total leakage consumption; and
a second control circuit configured to:
compare the total leakage consumption with one or more leakage thresholds, wherein the one or more leakage thresholds are based on a number of the one or more subsystems; and
determine the threshold power for the peak power manager based on the comparison.
