The LSI53C875A power states shown in Table 2.8 are independently controlled through two power state bits that are located in the PCI Power Management Control/Status (PMCSR) register 0x44.

Although the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification does not allow power state transitions D2 to D1, D3 to D2, or D3 to D1, the LSI53C875A hardware places no restriction on transitions between power states.

As the device transitions from one power level to a lower one, the attributes that occur from the higher power state level are carried over into the lower power state level. For example, D1 disables the SCSI CLK. Therefore, D2 will include this attribute as well as the attributes defined in the Power State D2 section. The PCI Function Power States D0, D1, D2, and D3 are described below. Power state actions are separate for each function.

2.5.1 Power State D0

Power state D0 is the maximum power state and is the power-up default state. The LSI53C875A is fully functional in this state.

2.5.2 Power State D1

Power state D1 is a lower power state than D0. In this state, the LSI53C875A core is placed in the snooze mode and the SCSI CLK is disabled. In the snooze mode, a SCSI reset does not generate an IRQ/ signal. However, the SCSI CLK is still disabled.
