6.2.9.3 Power Planes Control
The SC2200 supports up to three power planes. Three sig-
nals are used to control these power planes. Table 6-6
describes the signals and when each is asserted.
These signals allow control of the power of system devices
and the SC2200 itself. Table 6-7 describes the SC2200
power planes with respect to the different Sleep and Global
states.
The SC2200 power planes are controlled externally by the
three signals (i.e., the system designer should make sure
the system design is such that Table 6-7 is met) for all sup-
ported Sleep states.
VSB and VBAT are not controlled by any control signal. VSB
exists as long as the AC power is plugged in (for desktop
systems) or the main battery is charged (for mobile sys-
tems). VBAT exists as long as the RTC battery is charged.
The case in which VSB does not exist is called Mechanical
Off (G3).
6.2.9.4 Power Management Events
The SC2200 supports power management events that can
manage:
Transition of the system from a Sleep state to a Work
state. This is done by the hardware. These events are
defined as wakeup events.
Enabled wakeup events to set the WAK_STS bit
(F1BAR1+I/O Offset 08h[15]) to 1, when transitioning
the system back to the working state.
Generation of an interrupt. This invokes the relevant
software driver. The interrupt can either be an SMI or
SCI (selected by the SCI_EN bit, F1BAR1+I/O Offset
0Ch[0]). These events are defined as interrupt events.
Table 6-8 lists the power management events that can gen-
erate an SCI or SMI.
