AMD-761™ System Controller Software/BIOS Design Guide
24081D—February 2002
Preliminary Information
Each of the various power management features may be
optionally enabled with specific configuration bits in the
AMD-761 system controller’s host bridge configuration space as
described in the following sections.
4.1
C1 Halt State Requirements
The processor enters the C1 Halt state after executing a Halt
instruction and generating a Halt special cycle on the
AMD Athlon™ system bus. The AMD-761 system controller
supports two options for the Halt state:
1. Forward the Halt special cycle to the PCI bus but otherwise
continue normal operation (no power savings).
2. Disconnect the processor and then forward the Halt special
cycle to the PCI bus (processor enters very low-power state).

Disconnect processor when Stop Grant special cycle is detected on
AMD Athlon™ processor system bus.

Memory controller forces DRAM to self-refresh mode
Enabled by BIU Status/Control (Dev 0:F0:0x60) and Mode/Status

DCSTOP# assertion by Southbridge causes AMD-761 system control-
ler to gate off clock trees and DRAM clocks for lower power
Enabled when the Stp_Grant_Discon_En bit is set in the BIU
Status/Control Register (Dev 0:F0:0x60, bit 17).

RESET# assertion in S3 state causes AMD-761 system controller to
gate off I/O rings so power can be removed from AGP, PCI, and pro-
cessor interfaces while VDD_CORE and DDR interface remains pow-
ered.
Enabled when the Stp_Grant_Discon_En bit is set in the BIU
Status/Control Register (Dev 0:F0:0x60, bit 17).
