Table A-9 Retention power management signals
Signal Direction Description
CPUQACTIVE[CN:0] Output Indicates whether the referenced core is active
CPUQREQn[CN:0] Input Indicates that the power controller is ready to enter or exit retention for the referenced core
CPUQDENY[CN:0] Output Indicates that the referenced core denies the power controller retention request
CPUQACCEPTn[CN:0] Output Indicates that the referenced core accepts the power controller retention request
NEONQACTIVE[CN:0] Output Indicates whether the referenced Advanced SIMD and Floating-point block is active
Note
If a subset of cores in the processor is configured with Advanced SIMD and floating-point
functionality, then NEONQACTIVE[CN:0] is replaced with separate NEONxQACTIVE
signals, where x indicates the core that each signal relates to.
NEONQREQn[CN:0] Input Indicates that the power controller is ready to enter or exit retention for the referenced
Advanced SIMD and Floating-point block
Note
If a subset of cores in the processor is configured with Advanced SIMD and floating-point
functionality, then NEONQREQn[CN:0] is replaced with separate NEONxQREQn
signals, where x indicates the core that each signal relates to.
NEONQDENY[CN:0] Output Indicates that the referenced Advanced SIMD and Floating-point block denies the power
controller retention request
Note
If a subset of cores in the processor is configured with Advanced SIMD and floating-point
functionality, then NEONQDENY[CN:0] is replaced with separate NEONxQDENY
signals, where x indicates the core that each signal relates to.
NEONQACCEPTn[CN:0] Output Indicates that the referenced Advanced SIMD and Floating-point block accepts the power
controller retention request
Note
If a subset of cores in the processor is configured with Advanced SIMD and floating-point
functionality, then NEONQACCEPTn[CN:0] is replaced with separate
NEONxQACCEPTn signals, where x indicates the core that each signal relates to.
L2QACTIVE Output Indicates whether the L2 data RAMs are active
L2QREQn Input Indicates that the power controller is ready to enter or exit retention for the L2 data RAMs
L2QDENY Output Indicates that the L2 data RAMs deny the power controller retention request
L2QACCEPTn Output Indicates that the L2 data RAMs accept the power controller retention request
