# Overview Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-30/topic/poweroverview.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-30/topic/poweroverview.html) This guide outlines the features you can configure to meet your platform's power and thermal goals. It provides information to help you develop energy-efficient products or applications that balance performance and power consumption. This guide includes: - Application processor subsystem (APSS) architecture - System-on-chip (SoC) Sleep Power states - CPU active power management through CPU frequency scaling mechanisms and its tunables - CPU idle management through CPU Sleep Power states - Flexibility to configure Sleep Power states The features, and SoC Power states, explained here are for reference purpose only. Note: The Qualcomm Linux platform allows you to develop applications for QCS6490 and QCS5430. **Parent Topic:** [Power management](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-30/topic/powermanagement.html) Last Published: Jul 15, 2024 [Previous Topic Power management](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/80-70014-30/topics/powermanagement.md) [Next Topic Getting started](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/80-70014-30/topics/get-started.md)
