How To Enter Sleep Mode
KS9245 can be programmed into sleep mode for saving power and most of hardware will be cut off
by Clock. The only way into sleep mode is the register 2F Bit 7 Must be set to High.
How To Quit Sleep Mode
There are two ways to quit from sleep mode. One done by firmware is clear Bit 7 of register 2F
directly and The other is New ATA Command received or ATA Software reset Command received
in this case KS9245 Hardware will automatically wake up.
Something Important Before Enter Sleep Mode
In the sleep mode, DSP interface will be shut off automatically, so make sure KS9245 is in DSP
STOP mode. ECC engine and Buffer Manager are totally turned off. In DRAM Control logic, the

How Much Power is saved in Sleep Mode
In the Sleep Mode, it is about 75%-80% less than the normal operation mode.
12.4 Automatic Power-savings Mode
Besides sleep mode, the KS9245 has an automatic power-savings feature for the CD-
DSP/Subcode interface, ECC, and CAV audio playback modules. In this mode, the clocks driving
these modules are stopped when the modules are not active. The following describes the
automatic power-savings feature:
1) The clock to the CD-DSP/Subcode interface is automatically shut off while the CD-decoder is
in Stop mode.
2) The clock to the ECC module is normally stopped until there is a header, a correction or repeat
correction request occurs. After the request is serviced, the ECC clock will again be
automatically shut off.
3) The clock to the CAV audio playback module is shut off until the SPA (Start Play Audio) bit 0
in register 4Dh is set.
