1.4 Power Management
The 8666 system has built in several power saving modes to prolong the battery usage for mobile purpose.User can enable and configure different degrees of power management modesvia ROM CMOS setup (booting by pressing F2 key). Following are the descriptions of the power management modes supported.
1.4.1 System Management Mode
1.4.1.1 Full on Mode
In thismode, each device is running with the maximal speed. CPUclock is up to itsmaximum.
1.4.1.2 DozeMode
In thismode, CPU will be toggling between on & stop grant mode either. The technology is clock throttling. Thiscan save battery power without loosing much computing capability.
The CPU power consumption and temperature islower in this mode.
1.4.1.3 Standby Mode
For more power saving, it turns of the peripheral components. Inthis mode, the following is the statusof each device:
--CPU: Stop grant

Asserting A20M# emulates the 8086 processor's address wrap-around at the1-Mbyteboundary. Assertion ofA20M# is onlysupportedin real mode. A20M# is an asynchronous signal. However, toensurerecognition ofthis signalfollowing an Input/Output write instruction, it must be valid along with theTRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/Output Write bustransaction.
I/OADS# (Address Strobe) is asserted toindicatethe validity ofthe

Observing BPRI# active (as asserted bythe priorityagent) causes theother agent to stop issuingnew requests,unless such requests are part of anongoing locked operation. Thepriority agent keeps BPRI# asserted until all of its requests arecompleted, then releases the bus by deassertingBPRI#.

I/ODBSY# (Data Bus Busy) is asserted by the agent responsiblefor driving
data on theprocessorsystem bus to indicate thatthe data bus is in use.Thedata bus is released after DBSY# is deasserted. This signal mustconnect theappropriatepins on both processor systembus agents.
IDEFER#is assertedby an agent to indicate that a transaction cannotbe
guaranteed in-order completion. Assertion of DEFER#is normally theresponsibility of the addressed memory or Input/Output agent. This signal must connect theappropriate pins ofboth processor system bus agents.
I/ODINV[3:0]# (Data BusInversion) aresourcesynchronous and indicate
the polarity of theD[63:0]# signals. TheDINV[3:0]#signals areactivated when thedata on the data bus is inverted. Thebus agent willinvertthe databus signals if more thanhalf the bits, within thecovered group, would change levelin thenext cycle.
IDPSLP# when asserted on the platformcauses the processor to
transition fromthe Sleep state to the Deep Sleep state. In order to returntothe Sleep state, DPSLP# must be deasserted. DPSLP# is driven bytheICH4-M component and also connects to the MCH-Mcomponent of theIntel 855PMor Intel 855GMchipset.
I/O DRDY# (Data Ready) is asserted by the data driver on each data
transfer,indicating valid data onthe data bus. In amulti-commonclock data transfer, DRDY#maybe deasserted to insert idle clocks. Thissignal must connect theappropriate pins ofboth processor system bus agents.
IDPWR# is a control signal from the Intel 855PM and Intel 855GM
chipsets used to reduce power on the Intel Pentium M data bus input buffers.
OFERR# (Floating-point Error)/PBE#(Pending Break Event) is a
multiplexed signal and its meaning is qualified by STPCLK#. WhenSTPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# indicates a floating point whenthe processor detects an unmasked floating-point error. FERR# is similar to theERROR# signal on the Intel 80387 coprocessor, and isincluded for compatibility with systems using MS-DOS* typefloating-point errorreporting. When STPCLK# is asserted, an assertionof FERR#/PBE# indicates that the processor has a pending break event waiting for service. The assertion of FERR#/PBE# indicates that theprocessor shouldbe returned to the Normal state.When FERR#/PBE#isasserted, indicating a break event, it will remain asserted untilSTPCLK# is deasserted. Assertion of PREQ# when STPCLK# is activewill also cause an FERR# break event.
IGTLREF determines the signal reference levelfor AGTL+ inputpins.
GTLREF should be set at 2/3receivers to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or logical 1.
I/O
HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Modified) convey transaction snoop
I/O
operation results. Either system bus agent may assert both HIT# and HITM# together to indicate that it requires a snoop stall, which can becontinued by reasserting HIT# and HITM# together.
OIERR# (Internal Error) is asserted by a processor as the result of an
internal error. Assertion of IERR# is usually accompanied by a SHUTDOWN transaction on the processor systembus. This transaction may optionally be converted to an external error signal (e.g., NMI) bysystem core logic. The processor will keep IERR# asserted until the assertion of RESET#, BINIT#, or INIT#.
IIGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted toforce the processor to
ignore a numeric error and continuetoexecutenoncontrol floating-instructions. If IGNNE# is deasserted, the processor generates an exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if a previous floating-point instruction caused an error. IGNNE# has no effect whenthe NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set. IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition ofthis signal followingan Input/Output write instruction, it must be valid along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/Output Write bus transaction.
I/OREQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect theappropriate pins of
both processor system bus agents. They are asserted by the current busowner to define the currently active transaction type. These signals aresource synchronous to ADSTB[0]#.

INIT# isanasynchronoussignal. However, to ensure recognition ofthis signal followinganInput/Output Writeinstruction, it must be valid along with theTRDY# assertion ofthe correspondingInput/Output Write bus transaction. INIT# mustconnect the appropriate pins ofboth processorsystem busagents. IfINIT#issampled active onthe active to inactive transition ofRESET#,then theprocessor executes itsBuilt-in Self-Test (BIST)
ILINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate pins of
allAPICBus agents. When the APIC is disabled, the LINT0 signal becomes INTR, a maskable interrupt request signal,and LINT1becomes NMI,a nonmaskable interrupt. INTR and NMIare backward compatiblewith the signals of thosenames on thePentium processor. Both signals areasynchronous. Both of these signals must be software configured using BIOSprogramming of the APIC register spaceand used eitheras NMI/INTRor LINT[1:0]. Because theAPICis enabled by default after Reset,operation of these pins as LINT[1:0] is the default configuration.
I/O LOCK#indicates tothesystem that a transaction must occur atomically.
This signalmust connect the appropriate pins of both processor systembus agents. For a locked sequence of transactions, LOCK# is asserted from the beginningof the first transaction to the end of the last transaction.When thepriorityagent asserts BPRI# to arbitratefor ownership oftheprocessor system bus, it willwait untilit observes LOCK# deasserted. This enables symmetric agents to retain ownership ofthe processor system busthroughoutthe bus locked operation and ensure theatomicity of lock.

IPWRGOOD (Power Good) is a processor input. The processor requires
this signalas a clean indication that the clocks and power supplies arestableand within their specifications. ‘Clean’ implies that the signalwillremain low (capable of sinking leakage current), withoutglitches,from the time that the power supplies areturned on until they come withinspecification. Thesignalmust then transition monotonically toa highstate. PWRGOODcan bedriven inactive at any time, but clocks and power mustagain bestable beforea subsequent rising edgeofPWRGOOD. ThePWRGOOD signal mustbesupplied to the processor; itis used to protect internal circuits against voltagesequencingissues. It should be driven high throughout the boundary scan operation.
IITP_CLK[1:0] arecopies of BCLK that are used onlyin processor
systems where no debug port is implemented on the systemboard.ITP_CLK[1:0]are used as BCLK[1:0] references for a debug port implemented on an interposer. If a debug port is implemented in the system, ITP_CLK[1:0] areno connects. These arenot processor signals.
IAsserting the RESET# signal resets the processor to aknownstateand
invalidatesits internal caches without writing backany of their contents.For a power-on Reset, RESET# must stayactive for at least two milliseconds after VCC and BCLK have reachedtheir properspecifications. On observing active RESET#, both systembus agents will deassert their outputs within two clocks. All processor straps must be valid within the specified setup timebefore RESET# is deasserted.
IRS[2:0]# (ResponseStatus) are driven by the responseagent (the agent
responsible for completion ofthecurrent transaction), and must connect the appropriatepins ofboth processorsystem bus agents.
-Thesepins areRESERVED and mustbe left unconnected onthe board. However, itis recommended thatrouting channels to these pinson theboard be kept open forpossible future use. Please refer tothe platformdesign guides for moredetails.
ISLP# (Sleep), whenasserted in Stop-Grant state, causes the processor to
enter the Sleep state. DuringSleep state, the processorstops providinginternal clock signals to all units, leaving only the Phase-LockedLoop (PLL) stilloperating. Processorsin this state will not recognize snoopsor interrupts. Theprocessor will recognizeonly assertion of theRESET# signal, deassertion of SLP#, and removal ofthe BCLK input whilein Sleep state. IfSLP# is deasserted, theprocessor exits Sleepstateand returns to Stop-Grant state, restarting its internalclock signals to the bus and processor core units. IfDPSLP# is asserted while in theSleep state, theprocessor will exit the Sleep state and transition totheDeep Sleep state.

Theprocessorcontinues to snoop bus transactions and service interruptswhile in Stop-Grant state. When STPCLK# is deasserted, the processor restarts its internal clock to all units and resumes execution. The assertion of STPCLK# has no effect on the bus clock; STPCLK# is anasynchronous input.
