11.6 Power management features
The power management feature set permits a host to modify the behavior in a manner which reduces the power
required to operate. The power management feature set provides a set of commands and a timer that enables a device
to implement low power consumption modes.
The drive implements the following set of functions:
• A Standby timer
• Idle command
• Idle Immediate command
• Sleep command
• Standby command
• Standby Immediate command
11.6.1 Power mode
11.6.2 Power management commands
The Check Power Mode command allows a host to determine if a device is currently in, going to, or leaving
standby mode.
The Idle and Idle Immediate commands move a device to idle mode immediately from the active or standby
modes. The idle command also sets the standby timer count and starts the standby timer.
The sleep command moves a device to sleep mode. The device's interface becomes inactive at the completion of
the sleep command. A reset is required to move a device out of sleep mode. When a device exits sleep mode it will
enter standby mode.
The Standby and Standby Immediate commands move a device to standby mode immediately from the active or
idle modes. The standby command also sets the standby timer count.
11.6.3 Standby/Sleep command completion time
1. Confirm the completion of writing cached data in the buffer to media.
2. Unload the heads on the ramp.
3. Set the DRDY bit and the DSC bit in Status Register.
4. Set the INTRQ (completion of the command).
5. Activate the spindle break to stop the spindle motor.
6. Wait until the spindle motor is stopped.
7. Perform the post process.
Sleep Mode
The lowest power consumption when the device is powered on occurs in Sleep Mode. When
in Sleep Mode, the device requires a reset to be activated.
Standby
Mode
The device interface is capable of accepting commands, but since the media may not be
immediately accessible, there is a delay while waiting for the spindle to reach operating
speed.
Idle Mode
Refer to Section 11.7 “Advanced Power Management (ABLE-3) feature” on page 75.
Active
Mode
The device is in execution of a command or accessing the disk media with the read look-
ahead function or the write cache function.
