Power Planes Control

The SC1200/SC1201 processor supports up to three
power planes. Three signals are used to control these
power planes. Table 6-6 describes the signals and when
each is asserted.

These signals allow control of the power of system devices
and the SC1200/SC1201 processor itself. Table 6-7
describes the SC1200/SC1201 processor’s power planes
with respect to the different Sleep and Global states.

The SC1200/SC1201 processor’s power planes are con-
trolled externally by the three signals (i.e., the system
designer should make sure the system design is such that
Table 6-7 is met) for all supported Sleep states.

V

SB

and V

BAT

are not controlled by any control signal. V

SB

exists as long as the AC power is plugged in (for desktop
systems) or the main battery is charged (for mobile sys-
tems). V

BAT

exists as long as the RTC battery is charged.

The case in which V

SB

does not exist is called Mechanical

Off (G3).

Power Management Events

The SC1200/SC1201 processor supports power manage-
ment events that can manage:

Transition of the system from a Sleep state to a Work

state. This is done by the hardware. These events are
defined as wakeup events.

Enabled wakeup events to set the WAK_STS bit

(F1BAR1+I/O Offset 08h[15]) to 1, when transitioning
the system back to the working state.

Generation of an interrupt. This invokes the relevant

software driver. The interrupt can either be an SMI or
SCI (selected by the SCI_EN bit, F1BAR1+I/O Offset
0Ch[0]). These events are defined as interrupt events.

Table 6-8 lists the power management events that can gen-
erate an SCI or SMI.
