Pentium
®
III Processor for the PGA370 Socket at 500 MHz to 1.13 GHz
For the processor to fully realize the low current consumption of the Stop-Grant, Sleep and Deep
Sleep states, a Model Specific Register (MSR) bit must be set. For the MSR at 02AH (Hex), bit 26
must be set to a ‘1’ (this is the power on default setting) for the processor to stop all internal clocks
during these modes. For more information, see the Intel Architecture Software Developer’s
Manual, Volume 3: System Programming Guide located on the developer.intel.com website.
2.2.1 Normal State—State 1
This is the normal operating state for the processor.
2.2.2 AutoHALT Powerdown State—State 2
AutoHALT is a low power state entered when the processor executes the HALT instruction. The
processor transitions to the Normal state upon the occurrence of SMI#, INIT#, or LINT[1:0] (NMI,
INTR). RESET# causes the processor to immediately initialize itself.
The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be to either Normal Mode or
the AutoHALT Power Down state. See the Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual,
Volume III: System Programmer's Guide for more information.
FLUSH# is serviced during the AutoHALT state, and the processor will return to the AutoHALT
state.
