12 General Operation Descriptions

12.1 Reset Response

There are three types of reset in ATA as follows:

Power On Reset (POR)

The device executes a series of electrical circuitry diagnostics, spins up the HDA,

 

tests speed and other mechanical parametric, and sets default values.

COMRESET

COMRESET is issued in Serial ATA bus.

 

The device resets the interface circuitry as well as Soft Reset.

Soft Reset (Software Reset)

SRST bit in the Device Control Register is set, then is reset.

 

The device resets the interface circuitry according to the Set Features requirement.

The actions of each reset are shown in “Table 29 Reset Response Table” on Page 50

(*2) Default value on POR is shown in “Table 30 Default Register Values” on Page 51.

(*3) The Set Features command with Feature register = CCh enables the device to revert these parameters to the power on defaults.

(*4) In the case of sleep mode, the device goes to standby mode. In other case, the device does not change current mode.

(*5) According to the initial power mode selection.

(*6) See 12.15 Software Setting Preservation Feature Set.
