Functional Description
5.14.11.7 Controlling Leakage and Power Consumption
During Low-Power States
To control leakage in the system, various signals tri-state or go low during some low-power states.
General principles:
• All signals going to powered down planes (either internally or externally) must be either
tri-stated or driven low.
• Signals with pull-up resistors should not be low during low-power states. This is to avoid the
power consumed in the pull-up resistor.
• Buses should be halted (and held) in a known state to avoid a floating input (perhaps to some
other device). Floating inputs can cause extra power consumption.
Based on the above principles, the following measures are taken:
• During S3 (STR), all signals attached to powered down planes are tri-stated or driven low.

Used by SATA controller. Stopped in S3 ~ S5 based on
SLP_S3# assertion.
Used by DMI and PCI Express*. Stopped in S3 ~ S5 based on
SLP_S3# assertion.
Desktop: Free-running PCI Clock to ICH6. Stopped in S3 ~ S5
based on SLP_S3# assertion.
Mobile: Free-running (not affected by STP_PCI# PCI Clock to
ICH6. This is not the system PCI clock. This clock must keep
running in S0 while the system PCI clock may stop based on
CLKRUN# protocol. Stopped in S3 ~ S5 based on SLP_S3#
assertion.
Used by USB controllers and Intel High Definition Audio
controller. Stopped in S3 ~ S5 based on SLP_S3# assertion.
Used by ACPI timers. Stopped in S3 ~ S5 based on SLP_S3#
assertion.
AC-link. Control policy is determined by the clock source.
NOTE: Becomes clock output when Intel High Definition Audio
is enabled.
LAN Connect Interface. Control policy is determined by the
clock source.
