7/ Features and Power Supply
7.1. Onboard Power Supply
The SKL-S/mITX implements an on-board Intel IMVP8 regulator for the processor core and graphics core power supply. The main feature of Intel IMVP8 regulator is that it is serial Voltage Identification Definition (VID) based. Both the processor core and graphics core Voltage Regulator (VRs) are integrated into a single package. The Serial VID interface is shared by both the CPU core and graphics core VRs.
Intel IMVP8 uses a three-wire serial interface called Serial Voltage Identification (SVID) with DATA, CLK and ALERT#, for regulating both the CPU core & Graphics core processor voltages.
Some of the main differences in the platform with the introduction of SVID are:
SVID can be used to communicate the power states along with the VID signals. Hence signals like PSI# and
DPRSLPVR which were used to indicate the power states in previous platforms, is absent in this platform.
There is no support for on-board override mechanism as done in case of Parallel VIDs in previous
platforms.
7.2. External Power Supply
The SKL-S/mITX will operate from standard ATX & BTX compliant power supplies. For example, the Sparkle Model No. FSP300-60BTVS meets this requirement and is an ATX12V 1.1 Spec compliant power supply.
Use an “ATX12V” 1.1 Spec compliant power supply regardless of Vendor or wattage level (an ATX12V" rating means 5 V min current =0.1A)
7.3. Power Management
Processor supports ACPI 4.0a C0, C1, C1E, C3, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10 states. All power management handshakes are made on the DMI interface. None of the ‘Power State’ status signals can be observed on the board directly.
Table 29: Power States
State Description
G0/S0/C0
Full On: Processor operating. Individual devices may be shut down or be placed into lower power states to save power.
G0/S0/Cx
Cx State: Cx states are processor power states within the S0 system state that provide for various levels of power savings. The processor initiates C-state entry and exit while interacting with the PCH. The PCH will base its behavior on the processor state.
G1/S3
Suspend-To-RAM (STR): The system context is maintained in system DRAM, but power is shut off to non-critical circuits. Memory is retained and refreshes continued. All external clocks stop except RTC.
G1/S4
Suspend-To-Disk (STD): The context of the system is maintained on the disk. All power is then shut off to the system except for the logic required to resume.
G2/S5
Soft Off (SOFF): System context is not maintained. All power is shut off except for the logic required to restart. A full boot is required when waking.
G3
Mechanical OFF (MOFF): System context not maintained. All power is shut off
except for the RTC. No Wake events are possible. This state occurs if the user

www.kontron.com // 38
State Description
removes the main system batteries in a mobile system, turns off a mechanical switch, or if the system power supply is at a level that is insufficient to power the waking logic.
7.4. Real-Time Clock
An on-board battery maintains power to the Real Time Clock (RTC) when the board is in a mechanical off state. A CR2032 battery is installed on the board.
7.5. Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The boards include one Infineon SLB9665TT2.0FW5.00 Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a specific protected and encapsulated microcontroller security chip. He is used to defend the internal data structures against attacks. The nature of this security chip ensures that informations like keys, password and digital certificates are stored within.
