GPIO
The use of GPIO pins for power management is design-specific, though Broadcom-delivered drivers use GPIO pins in the
manner listed in Table 52 and Table 53. This usage is only applicable when the BCM5722 Ethernet controller is configured
for a NIC design; it is not applicable to LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) designs.
POWER SUPPLY IN D3 STATE
Table 54 shows the power supply to various power pins on the BCM5722 Ethernet controller. This table assumes that host
software has switched power regulators using GPIO pins 0, 1, and 2.
CLOCK CONTROL
Certain functional blocks in the MAC architecture should be powered down before a transition to D3 ACPI state. MAC clock
generators/PLLs drive transistor level logic, which switch states on every clock pulse. Transistor level switching consumes
power (mW). Software should selectively disable clocking to non-essential functional blocks. Software must set the
Enable_Clock_Control_Register bit in the Miscellaneous Host Control register (see “Miscellaneous Host Control Register
(Offset 0x68)” on page 204); the assertion of this bit allows host software to configure the PCI clock control register. The
following clock bits should be configured in the PCI Clock Control register (see “PCI Clock Control Register (Offset 0x74)”
on page 207):
• RX RISC clock disable
• Select alternate clock—the 133-MHz PLL is not used as reference clock.
