Datasheet Volume One
Notes:
1. Package C7 is not supported.
2. All package states are defined to be "E" states - such that they always exit back into the LFM point upon
execution resume
3. The mapping of actions for PC3, and PC6 are suggestions - microcode will dynamically determine which
actions should be taken based on the desired exit latency parameters.
4. CC3/CC6 will all use a voltage below the VccMin operational point; The exact voltage selected will be a
function of the snoop and interrupt response time requirements made by the devices (PCIe* and DMI) and
the operating system.

Table 4-4. System Memory Power States (Sheet 1 of 2)

State Description
Power Up/Normal Operation CKE asserted. Active Mode, highest power consumption.
CKE Power Down Opportunistic, per rank control after idle time:
Active Power Down (APD) (default mode)
CKE de-asserted. Power savings in this mode, relative to active idle
state is about 55% of the memory power. Exiting this mode takes 3
– 5 DCLK cycles.
Pre-charge Power Down Fast Exit (PPDF)
CKE de-asserted. DLL-On. Also known as Fast CKE. Power savings in
this mode, relative to active idle state is about 60% of the memory
power. Exiting this mode takes 3 – 5 DCLK cycles.
Pre-charge Power Down Slow Exit (PPDS)
CKE de-asserted. DLL-Off . Also known as Slow CKE. P ower savings in
this mode, relative to active idle state is about 87% of the memory
power. Exiting this mode takes 3 – 5 DCLK cycles until the first
command is allowed and 16 cycles until first data is allowed.
Register CKE Power Down:
IBT-ON mode: Both CKE’s are de-asserted, the Input Buffer
Terminators (IBTs) are left “on”.
IBT-OFF mode: Both CKE’s are de-asserted, the Input Buffer
Terminators (IBTs) are turned “off”.
