Low Power Features
2 Low Power Features
2.1 Clock Control and Low Power States
The Pentium M processor supports the AutoHALT Power-Down, Stop Grant, Sleep, Deep Sleep,
and Deeper Sleep states for optimal power management. See Figure 2-1 for a visual representation
of the processor low-power states.
2.1.1 Normal State
This is the normal operating state for the processor.
2.1.2 AutoHALT Power-Down State
AutoHALT Power-Down is a low-power state entered when the processor executes the HALT
instruction. The processor will transition to the Normal state upon the occurrence of SMI#, INIT#,
LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR), or FSB interrupt message. RESET# will cause the processor to
immediately initialize itself.
A system management interrupt (SMI) handler will return execution to either Normal state or the
AutoHALT Power-Down state. See the IA-32 Intel
