Low Power Features
In the Sleep state, the processor is incapable of responding to snoop transactions or
latching interrupt signals. No transitions or assertions of signals (with the exception of
SLP#, DPSLP# or RESET#) are allowed on the FSB while the processor is in Sleep
state. Snoop events that occur while in Sleep state or during a transition into or out of
Sleep state will cause unpredictable behavior. Any transition on an input signal before
the processor has returned to the Stop-Grant state will result in unpredictable behavior.
If RESET# is driven active while the processor is in the Sleep state, and held active as
specified in the RESET# pin specification, then the processor will reset itself, ignoring
the transition through Stop-Grant State. If RESET# is driven active while the processor
is in the Sleep State, the SLP# and STPCLK# signals should be deasserted immediately
after RESET# is asserted to ensure the processor correctly executes the Reset
sequence.
While in the Sleep state, the processor is capable of entering an even lower power
the processor is in the Sleep state, the SLP# pin must be deasserted if another
asynchronous FSB event needs to occur.
2.1.2.5
Deep Sleep State
Deep Sleep state is a very low power state the processor can enter while maintaining
context. Deep Sleep state is entered by asserting the DPSLP# pin while in the Sleep
state. BCLK may be stopped during the Deep Sleep state for additional platform level
power savings. BCLK stop/restart timings on appropriate chipset based platforms with
the CK410M clock chip are as follows:
• Deep Sleep entry: the system clock chip may stop/tristate BCLK within 2 BCLKs of
DPSLP# assertion. It is permissible to leave BCLK running during Deep Sleep.
• Deep Sleep exit: the system clock chip must drive BCLK to differential DC levels
within 2-3 ns of DPSLP# deassertion and start toggling BCLK within 10 BCLK
periods.
To re-enter the Sleep state, the DPSLP# pin must be deasserted. BCLK can be re-
started after DPSLP# deassertion as described above. A period of 15 microseconds (to
allow for PLL stabilization) must occur before the processor can be considered to be in
the Sleep state. Once in the Sleep state, the SLP# pin must be deasserted to re-enter
the Stop-Grant state.
While in Deep Sleep state, the processor is incapable of responding to snoop
transactions or latching interrupt signals. No transitions of signals are allowed on the
FSB while the processor is in Deep Sleep state. When the processor is in Deep Sleep
state, it will not respond to interrupts or snoop transactions. Any transition on an input
signal before the processor has returned to Stop-Grant state will result in unpredictable
behavior.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
The Intel Pentium Dual-Core processors feature Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology.
Following are the key features of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology:
• Multiple voltage/frequency operating points provide optimal performance at the
lowest power.
• Voltage/Frequency selection is software controlled by writing to processor MSR’s
(Model Specific Registers).
— If the target frequency is higher than the current frequency, V
CC
is ramped up
in steps by placing new values on the VID pins and the PLL then locks to the
new frequency.
