Real Time Clock
The
I/O
Controller
integrates
a
Motorola
(MC146818A compatible Real Time Clock (RTC) with
256 bytes of battery-backed RAM. The real-time clock
performs two key functions, keeping track of the time
of day and storing system data, even when the system
is powered down. The RTC operates on a 32.768 KHz
crystal and a separate 3V lithium battery that provides
up to seven years of protection. The RTC also supports
two lockable memory ranges. By setting bits in the
configuration space, two 8-byte ranges can be locked
to read and write accesses. This prevents unauthorized
reading of passwords or other system security infor-
mation. The RTC also supports a date alarm that
allows for scheduling a wake up event up to 30 days in
advance. The month alarm provides for alarms within
the next year.
Power Management
The power management functions of the I/O Con-
troller include enhanced clock control, local and glo-
bal monitoring support for 33 individual devices, and
various low power (suspend) states (e.g., Suspend-to-
DRAM and Suspend-to-Disk). A hardware-based ther-
mal management circuit permits software-indepen-
dent entrance to low-power states. The I/O Controller
contains full support for the Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification. The CPU
power management unit allows for multi-processor
clock control supports of processor stop-grant and
sleep power management states.
Sleep State Overview
The I/O Controller directly supports different sleep
states (S1-S5), setting the SLP_EN enters Sleep states
bit, or due to a Power Button Override. The entry to the
Sleep states are based on several assumptions:
Entry to a Cx state is mutually exclusive with entry
to a Sleep state. This is because the processor can
only perform one register access at a time. A request
to sleep always has higher priority than throttling.
Prior to setting the SLP_EN bit, the software turns
off processor-controlled throttling. Note that ther-
mal throttling cannot be disabled, but setting the
SLP_EN bit disables thermal throttling (since S1-S5
Sleep State has higher priority).
Upon exit from the I/O Controller-controlled Sleep
states (S1, S3, S4, S5), the RSM_STS bit is set to 1.
System Power States
Table 26 identifies the power states that may be
used in systems employing the I/O Controller. The
state names generally correspond to states defined by
the ACPI specification.
Table 27 identifies the power
state transition rules.
