CLOCK & POWER MANAGEMENT    S3C2440A RISC MICROPROCESSOR

POWER MANAGEMENT 
The Power Management block controls the system clocks by software for the reduction of power consumption in 
the S3C2440A. These schemes are related to PLL, clock control logics (FCLK, HCLK, and PCLK) and wakeup 
signals. Figure 7-7 shows the clock distribution of the S3C2440A. 
The S3C2440A has four power modes. The following section describes each power management mode. The 
transition between the modes is not allowed freely. Please see Figure 7-8 for available transitions among the 
modes.
