9.6.5.2 Stop Grant State
For minimum processor power consumption, all other input pins should be driven to 
their inactive level while the processor is in the Stop Grant state except for the data 
bus, data parity, WB/WT# and INV pins. WB/WT# should be driven low and INV should 
be driven high.
In both the Standard mode and Enhanced mode, the following conditions exist: 
• A RESET, SRESET or de-assertion of STPCLK# brings the processor from the Stop 
Grant state to the Normal state.
• While in the Stop Grant state, the processor does not recognize transitions on the 
interrupt signals (SMI#, NMI, and INTR). This means SMI#, NMI, and INTR are not 
Stop Break events. The external logic should de-assert STPCLK# before issuing 
interrupts, or if an interrupt is asserted it should be kept asserted for at least one 
clock after STPCLK# is removed. (Note that the Write-Back Enhanced Intel
®
 Quark 
SoC X1000 Core requires that INTR be held active until the processor issues an 
interrupt acknowledge cycle in order to guarantee recognition).
• FLUSH# is not a Stop Break event. But if FLUSH# is asserted during the Stop Grant 
state, it is latched by the Write-Back Enhanced Intel
®
 Quark SoC X1000 Core and 
serviced later when STPCLK# is de-asserted.
