Intel Pentium II Processor With On-Die Cache Mobile Module MMC-2

4.4.2 Normal State
This is the normal operating mode where the processor’s
core clock is running and the processor is actively executing
instructions.
4.4.3 Auto Halt State
This is a low-power mode entered by the processor through
the execution of the HLT instruction. The power level of this
mode is similar to the Stop Grant state. A transition to the
Normal state is made by a halt break event (one of the
following signals going active: NMI, INTR, BINIT#, INIT#,
RESET#, FLUSH#, or SMI#).
Asserting the STPCLK# signal while in the Auto Halt state
will cause the processor to transition to the Stop Grant state
or the Quick Start state, where a Stop Grant Acknowledge
bus cycle will be issued. Deasserting STPCLK# will cause
the processor to return to the Auto Halt state without issuing
a new Halt bus cycle.
The SMI# (System Management Interrupt) is recognized in
the Auto Halt state. The return from the SMI handler can be
to either the Normal state or the Auto Halt state. See the
Intel ® Architecture Software Developer’s Manual, Volume
III: System Programmer’s Guide for more information. No
Halt bus cycle is issued when returning to the Auto Halt state
from System Management Mode (SMM).
The FLUSH# signal is serviced in the Auto Halt state. After
flushing the on-chip, the processor will return to the Auto
Halt state without issuing a Halt bus cycle. Transitions in the
A20M# and PREQ# signals are recognized while in the Auto
Halt state.
4.4.4 Stop Grant State
This state is not available on Intel mobile modules.
The processor enters this mode with the assertion of the
STPCLK# signal when it is configured for Stop Grant state
(via the A15# strapping option). The processor is still able to
respond to snoop requests and latch interrupts. Latched
interrupts will be serviced when the processor returns to the
Normal state. Only one occurrence of each interrupt event
will be latched. A transition back to the Normal state can be
made by the deassertion of the STPCLK# signal, or the
occurrence of a stop break event (a BINIT#, FLUSH#, or
RESET# assertion).
The processor will return to the Stop Grant state after the
completion of a BINIT# bus initialization unless STPCLK#
has been deasserted. RESET# assertion will cause the
processor to immediately initialize itself. However, the
processor will stay in the Stop Grant state after initialization
until STPCLK# is deasserted. If the FLUSH# signal is
asserted, the processor will flush the on-chip caches and
return to the Stop Grant state. A transition to the Sleep state
can be made by the assertion of the SLP# signal.
While in the Stop Grant state, assertions of SMI#, INIT#,
INTR, and NMI (or LINT[1:0]) will be latched by the
processor. These latched events will not be serviced until the
processor returns to the Normal state. Only one of each
event will be recognized upon return to the Normal state.
4.4.5 Quick Start State
This is a mode entered by the processor with the assertion
of the STPCLK# signal when it is configured for the Quick
Start state (via the A15# strapping option). In the Quick Start
state the processor is only capable of acting on snoop
transactions generated by the PSB priority device. Because
of its snooping behavior, Quick Start can only be used in
single processor configurations.
A transition to the Deep Sleep state can be made by
stopping the clock input to the processor. A transition back to
the Normal state (from the Quick Start state) is made only if
the STPCLK# signal is deasserted.
While in this state the processor is limited in its ability to
respond to input. It is incapable of latching any interrupts,
servicing snoop transactions from symmetric bus masters, or
responding to FLUSH# and BINIT# assertions. In the Quick
Start state, the processor will not respond properly to any
input signal other than STPCLK#, RESET#, or BPRI#. If any
other input signal changes, then the behavior of the
processor will be unpredictable. No serial interrupt
messages may begin or be in progress while the processor
is in the Quick Start state.
RESET# assertion will cause the processor to immediately
initialize itself, but the processor will stay in the Quick Start
state after initialization until STPCLK# is deasserted.
4.4.6 HALT/Grant Snoop State
The processor will respond to snoop transactions on the
PSB while in the Auto Halt, Stop Grant, or Quick Start state.
When a snoop transaction is presented on the system bus,
the processor will enter the HALT/Grant Snoop state. The
processor will remain in this state until the snoop has been
serviced and the PSB is quiet. After the snoop has been
serviced, the processor will return to its previous state. If the
HALT/Grant Snoop state is entered from the Quick Start
state, then the input signal restrictions of the Quick Start
state still apply in the HALT/Grant Snoop state (except for
those signal transitions that are required to perform the
snoop).
4.4.7 Sleep State
This state is not available on Intel mobile modules.
The Sleep state is a very low-power state in which the
processor maintains its context and the phase locked loop
(PLL) maintains phase lock. The Sleep state can only be
entered from the Stop Grant state. After entering the Stop
