5.13.7.3 Exiting Sleep States
Sleep states (S1–S5) are exited based on Wake events. The Wake events forces the
system to a full on state (S0), although some non-critical subsystems might still be
shut off and have to be brought back manually. For example, the hard disk may be shut
off during a sleep state and have to be enabled using a GPIO pin before it can be used.
Upon exit from the PCH-controlled Sleep states, the WAK_STS bit is set. The possible
causes of Wake Events (and their restrictions) are shown in Table 5-29.
Note: (Mobile Only) If the BATLOW# signal is asserted, the PCH does not attempt to wake
from an S1–S5 state, even if the power button is pressed. This prevents the system
from waking when the battery power is insufficient to wake the system. Wake events
that occur while BATLOW# is asserted are latched by the PCH, and the system wakes
after BATLOW# is deasserted.
Table 5-28. Sleep Types
Sleep Type Comment
S1
System lowers the processor’s power consumption. No snooping is possible in this
state.
S3
The PCH asserts SLP_S3#. The SLP_S3# signal controls the power to non-critical
circuits. Power is only retained to devices needed to wake from this sleeping
state, as well as to the memory.
S4
The PCH asserts SLP_S3# and SLP_S4#. The SLP_S4# signal shuts off the power
to the memory subsystem. Only devices needed to wake from this state should be
powered.
S5 The PCH asserts SLP_S3#, SLP_S4# and SLP_S5#.
