Electrical Specific<strong>at</strong>ionsFor <strong>the</strong> processor <strong>to</strong> fully realize <strong>the</strong> low current consumption of <strong>the</strong> S<strong>to</strong>p-Grant, Sleep, and DeepSleep st<strong>at</strong>es, a Model Specific Register (MSR) bit must be set. For <strong>the</strong> MSR <strong>at</strong> 02Ah (Hex), bit 26must be set <strong>to</strong> a ‘1’ (this is <strong>the</strong> power on default setting) <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> processor <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p all internal clocksduring <strong>the</strong>se modes. For more in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion, see <strong>the</strong> <strong>Intel</strong> Architecture Software Developer’sManual, Volume 3: System Programming Guide (Document Number 243192).Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> inability of processors <strong>to</strong> recognize bus transactions during <strong>the</strong> Sleep and Deep Sleepst<strong>at</strong>es, 2-way MP systems are not allowed <strong>to</strong> have one processor in Sleep/Deep Sleep st<strong>at</strong>e and <strong>the</strong>o<strong>the</strong>r processor in Normal or S<strong>to</strong>p-Grant st<strong>at</strong>e simultaneously.2.2.1 Normal St<strong>at</strong>e—St<strong>at</strong>e 1This is <strong>the</strong> normal oper<strong>at</strong>ing st<strong>at</strong>e <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> processor.2.2.2 Au<strong>to</strong>HALT Powerdown St<strong>at</strong>e—St<strong>at</strong>e 2Au<strong>to</strong>HALT is a low power st<strong>at</strong>e entered when <strong>the</strong> processor executes <strong>the</strong> HALT instruction. Theprocessor will transition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Normal st<strong>at</strong>e upon <strong>the</strong> occurrence of SMI#, BINIT#, INIT#, orLINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR). RESET# will cause <strong>the</strong> processor <strong>to</strong> immedi<strong>at</strong>ely initialize itself.The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be <strong>to</strong> ei<strong>the</strong>r Normal Mode or<strong>the</strong> Au<strong>to</strong>HALT Power Down st<strong>at</strong>e. See <strong>the</strong> <strong>Intel</strong> Architecture Software Developer's Manual,Volume <strong>III</strong>: System Programmer's Guide (Document Number 243192) <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion.FLUSH# will be serviced during <strong>the</strong> Au<strong>to</strong>HALT st<strong>at</strong>e, and <strong>the</strong> processor will return <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>Au<strong>to</strong>HALT st<strong>at</strong>e.The system can gener<strong>at</strong>e a STPCLK# while <strong>the</strong> processor is in <strong>the</strong> Au<strong>to</strong>HALT Power Down st<strong>at</strong>e.When <strong>the</strong> system deasserts <strong>the</strong> STPCLK# interrupt, <strong>the</strong> processor will return execution <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>HALT st<strong>at</strong>e.2.2.3 S<strong>to</strong>p-Grant St<strong>at</strong>e—St<strong>at</strong>e 3The S<strong>to</strong>p-Grant st<strong>at</strong>e on <strong>the</strong> processor is entered when <strong>the</strong> STPCLK# signal is asserted.Since <strong>the</strong> AGTL+ signal pins receive power from <strong>the</strong> system bus, <strong>the</strong>se pins should not be driven(allowing <strong>the</strong> level <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> VTT) <strong>for</strong> minimum power drawn by <strong>the</strong> termin<strong>at</strong>ion resis<strong>to</strong>rs in thisst<strong>at</strong>e. In addition, all o<strong>the</strong>r input pins on <strong>the</strong> system bus should be driven <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> inactive st<strong>at</strong>e.BINIT# and FLUSH# will not be serviced during S<strong>to</strong>p-Grant st<strong>at</strong>e.RESET# will cause <strong>the</strong> processor <strong>to</strong> immedi<strong>at</strong>ely initialize itself, but <strong>the</strong> processor will stay inS<strong>to</strong>p-Grant st<strong>at</strong>e. A transition back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Normal st<strong>at</strong>e will occur with <strong>the</strong> deassertion of <strong>the</strong>STPCLK# signal.A transition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> HALT/Grant Snoop st<strong>at</strong>e will occur when <strong>the</strong> processor detects a snoop on <strong>the</strong>system bus (see Section 2.2.4). A transition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sleep st<strong>at</strong>e (see Section 2.2.5) will occur with <strong>the</strong>assertion of <strong>the</strong> SLP# signal.While in S<strong>to</strong>p-Grant St<strong>at</strong>e, SMI#, INIT#, and LINT[1:0] will be l<strong>at</strong>ched by <strong>the</strong> processor, and onlyserviced when <strong>the</strong> processor returns <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Normal st<strong>at</strong>e. Only one occurrence of each event will berecognized and serviced upon return <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Normal st<strong>at</strong>e.D<strong>at</strong>asheet 15
