AMD Sempron™ Processor Model 10 with 256K L2 Cache Data Sheet

Figure 5 shows the signal sequence of events that takes the processor out of the Stop Grant state, connects the processor to the AMD Athlon system bus, and puts the processor into the Working state.

Figure 5. Exiting the Stop Grant State and Bus Connect Sequence

The following sequence of events removes the processor from the Stop Grant state and connects it to the system bus:

1.The Southbridge deasserts STPCLK#, informing the processor of a wake event.

2.When the processor recognizes STPCLK# deassertion, it exits the low-power state and asserts PROCRDY, notifying the Northbridge to connect to the bus.

3.The Northbridge asserts CONNECT.

4.The Northbridge deasserts CLKFWDRST, synchronizing the forwarded clocks between the processor and the Northbridge.

5.The processor issues a Connect special cycle on the system bus and resumes operating system and application code execution.
