Register Descriptions
Offset 5-4 - Power Management Control ........................ RW
15-14 Reserved
........................................ always reads 0
13
Sleep Enable
(SLP_EN)...................... always reads 0
This is a write-only bit; reads from this bit always
return zero. Writing a one to this bit causes the
system to sequence into the sleep (suspend) state
defined by the SLP_TYP field.
12-10 Sleep Type
(SLP_TYP)
000 Soft Off (also called Suspend to Disk). The
VDD5 power plane is turned off while the
VDD-5VSB and VDD-RTC (VBAT) planes
remain on.
010 Power On Suspend. All power planes remain
on but the processor is put into the C3 state.
0x1 Reserved
1xx Reserved
In either sleep state, there is minimal interface
between powered and non-powered planes so that the
effort for hardware design may be well managed.
9-3
Reserved
........................................ always reads 0
2
Global Release
(GBL_RLS)..................... default = 0
This bit is set by ACPI software to indicate the
release of the SCI / SMI lock. Upon setting of this
bit, the hardware automatically sets the BIOS_STS
bit. The bit is cleared by hardware when the
BIOS_STS bit is cleared by software. Note that the
setting of this bit will cause an SMI to be generated if
the BIOS_EN bit is set (bit-5 of the Global Enable
register at offset 2Ah).
1
Bus Master Reload
(BMS_RLD)............. default = 0
This bit is used to enable the occurrence of a bus
master request to transition the processor from the C3
state to the C0 state.
0
SCI Enable
(SCI_EN)............................... default = 0
Selects the power management event to generate
either an SCI or SMI:
0
Generate SMI
1
Generate SCI
Note that certain power management events can be
programmed individually to generate an SCI or SMI
independent of the setting of this bit (refer to the
General Purpose SCI Enable and General Purpose
SMI Enable registers at offsets 22 and 24). Also,
TMR_STS & GBL_STS always generate SCI and
BIOS_STS always generates SMI.
Offset 0B-08 - Power Management Timer ..................... RW
31-24 Extended Timer Value (ETM_VAL)
This field reads back 0 if the 24-bit timer option is
selected (Rx41 bit-3).
23-0 Timer Value (TMR_VAL)
This read-only field returns the running count of the
power management timer. This is a 24/32-bit counter
that runs off a 3.579545 MHz clock, and counts while
in the S0 (working) system state. The timer is reset to
an initial value of zero during a reset, and then
continues counting until the 14.31818 MHz input to
the chip is stopped. If the clock is restarted without a
reset, then the counter will continue counting from
where it stopped.
