Networking Silicon — GD82559ER
The 82559ER’s power management register implements all four power states as defined in the Power Management Network Device Class Reference Specification, Revision 1.0. The four states, D0 through D3, vary from maximum power consumption at D0 to the minimum power consumption at D3. PCI transactions are only allowed in the D0 state, except for host accesses to the 82559ER’s PCI configuration registers. The D1 and D2 power management states enable intermediate power savings while providing the system
As defined in the Network Device Class Reference Specification, the device is fully functional in the D0 power state. In this state, the 82559ER receives full power and should be providing full functionality. In the 82559ER the D0 state is partitioned into two substates, D0 Uninitialized (D0u) and D0 Active (D0a).
D0u is the 82559ER’s initial power state following a PCI RST#. While in the D0u state, the 82559ER has PCI slave functionality to support its initialization by the host and supports wake up events. Initialization of the CSR, Memory, or I/O Base Address Registers in the PCI Configuration space switches the 82559ER from the D0u state to the D0a state.
In the D0a state, the 82559ER provides its full functionality and consumes its nominal power. In addition, the 82559ER supports wake on link status change (see Section 4.2.5,
In order for a device to meet the D1 power state requirements, as specified in the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, Revision 1.0, it must not allow bus transmission or interrupts; however, bus reception is allowed. Therefore, device context may be lost and the 82559ER does not initiate any PCI activity. In this state, the 82559ER responds only to PCI accesses to its configuration space and system
The 82559ER retains link integrity and monitors the link for any
The ACPI D2 power state is similar in functionality to the D1 power state. If the bus is in the B2 state, the 82559ER will consume less current than it does in the D1 state. In addition to D1 functionality, the 82559ER can provide a lower power mode with
link. The 82559ER will not attempt to keep the link alive by transmitting idle symbols or link integrity pulses.1 The
