Bit
Description
Power Button Status (PWRBTN__STS) — R/WC. This bit is not affected by hard resets caused
by a CF9 write.
0 = If the PWRBTN# signal is held low for more than 4 seconds, the hardware clears the
PWRBTN_STS bit, sets the PWRBTNOR_STS bit, and the system transitions to the S5 state
with only PWRBTN# enabled as a wake event.
This bit can be cleared by software by writing a one to the bit position.
1 = This bit is set by hardware when the PWRBTN# signal is asserted Low, independent of any
8
other enable bit.
In the S0 state, while PWRBTN_EN and PWRBTN_STS are both set, an SCI (or SMI# if
SCI_EN is not set) will be generated.
In any sleeping state S1–S5, while PWRBTN_EN (PMBASE + 02h, bit 8) and
PWRBTN_STS are both set, a wake event is generated.
NOTE: If the PWRBTN_STS bit is cleared by software while the PWRBTN# signal is sell
asserted, this will not cause the PWRBN_STS bit to be set. The PWRBTN# signal must
go inactive and active again to set the PWRBTN_STS bit.
7:6 Reserved
Global Status (GBL _STS) — R/WC.
5
0 = The SCI handler should then clear this bit by writing a 1 to the bit location.
1 = Set when an SCI is generated due to BIOS wanting the attention of the SCI handler. BIOS
has a corresponding bit, BIOS_RLS, which will cause an SCI and set this bit.

Bus Master Status (BM_STS) — R/WC. This bit will not cause a wake event, SCI or SMI#.
0 = Software clears this bit by writing a 1 to it.
1 = Set by the ICH6 when a bus master requests access to main memory. Bus master activity is
detected by any of the PCI Requests being active, any internal bus master request being
active, the BMBUSY# signal being active, or REQ-C2 message received while in C3 or C4
state.
NOTES:
1. If the BM_STS_ZERO_EN bit is set, then this bit will generally report as a 0. LPC DMA and
bus master activity will always set the BM_STS bit, even if the BM_STS_ZERO_EN bit is set.
3:1 Reserved
Timer Overflow Status (TMROF_STS) — R/WC.
0 = The SCI or SMI# handler clears this bit by writing a 1 to the bit location.
0
1 = This bit gets set any time bit 22 of the 24-bit timer goes high (bits are numbered from 0 to 23).
This will occur every 2.3435 seconds. When the TMROF_EN bit (PMBASE + 02h, bit 0) is
set, then the setting of the TMROF_STS bit will additionally generate an SCI or SMI#
(depending on the SCI_EN).
