Processor 1.66 GHz/1.83 GHz
2.1.2.3
Stop Grant Snoop State
The processor responds to snoop or interrupt transactions on the FSB while in Stop-
Grant state. During a snoop or interrupt transaction, the processor enters the Stop
Grant Snoop state. The processor stays in this state until the snoop on the FSB has
been serviced (whether by the processor or another agent on the FSB) or the interrupt
has been latched. After the snoop is serviced or the interrupt is latched, the processor
returns to the Stop-Grant state.
2.1.2.4
Sleep State
The Sleep state is a very low power state in which the processor maintains its context,
maintains the phase-locked loop (PLL), and has stopped most of internal clocks. The
Sleep state can only be entered from Stop-Grant state. Once in the Stop-Grant state,
the processor enters the Sleep state upon the assertion of the SLP# signal. The SLP#
pin has a minimum assertion of one BCLK period. The SLP# pin should only be asserted
when the processor is in the Stop Grant state. For the Intel
®

®
Processor 1.66
GHz/1.83 GHz, the SLP# pin may only be asserted the processor core is in the Stop-
Grant state. SLP# assertions while the processor is not in the Stop-Grant state are out
of specification and may results in illegal operation.
Snoop events that occur while in Sleep state or during a transition into or out of Sleep
state causes unpredictable behavior.
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# or RESET#) are allowed on the system bus while the processor is in Sleep state.
Any transition on an input signal before the processor has returned to Stop-Grant state
results 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 resets 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.
When the processor is in Sleep state, it does not respond to interrupts or snoop
transactions.

Extended Halt State (C1E)
The Intel
®
Celeron
®
Processor 1.66 GHz/1.83 GHz Extended Halt State (C1E) enables
significant power savings. Extended HALT state is a low power state entered when the
processor core has executed the HALT or MWAIT instructions and Extended HALT state
has been enabled via the BIOS. When the processor core executes the HALT
instruction, the core is halted. The Extended HALT state is a lower power state than the
HALT state or Stop Grant state.
Note:
The Extended HALT (C1E) state must be enabled for the processor to remain within its
specifications.
The Extended HALT state requires support for dynamic VID transitions in the platform.
The processor automatically transitions to a lower core frequency and voltage operating
point before entering the Extended HALT state. Note that the processor FSB frequency
