Introduction to EZ-USB FX3
Power management features are implemented at all layers:
The physical layer supports the remote wakeup signaling.
The link layer supports low-power link state entry and exit with the help of LTSSM and link commands. It offers four link power
states (U0, U1, U2, and U3) for better power management. The following architectural features aid in SuperSpeed link power
management:
■ The much higher transmission rates mean that SuperSpeed transactions complete very quickly, leaving links in the idle
state for a longer period of time.
■ The Unicast approach involves only the links in the direct path between the originating root port and target device, leaving
other links idle.
■ The "poll once and notify" mechanism used in SuperSpeed end-to-end flow control reduces overall link traffic.
Protocol layer supports endpoint busy/ready notifications.
1.2.1 Function Power Management
SuperSpeed power management includes the ability to place a specific function (an interface or a set of interfaces) into a
suspended state. This means that a multifunction device can have some functions suspended while others remain fully
operational. Functions are placed into suspend under software control. The asynchronous Function Wake notification tells
software that a suspended function or device is requesting a remote wakeup.
