7-4 Thermal Duty Cycle
This field determines the duty cycle of STPCLK#
when the THRM# pin is asserted. The STPCLK#
duty cycle when THRM# is NOT asserted is
controlled by PMIO Rx10[3:0]. The duty cycle
indicates the percentage of performance (the lower
the percentage, the lower the performance and the
higher the power savings). If the Throttling Timer
Width (Function 0 Rx8D[6-5]) is set to 3-bit width,
bit-0 of this field should be set to 0 (and the
performance increment will be 12.5%). If the
Throttling Timer Width is set to 2-bit width, bits 1-0
of this field should be set to 0 (and the performance
increment will be 25%).

6-5 Throttle Timer
This field determines the number of bits used for the
throttle timer, which in conjunction with the throttle
timer tick determines the cycle time of STPCLK#.
For example, if a 2-bit timer and a 7.5 usec timer tick
are selected, the STPCLK# cycle time would be 30
usec (2**2 x 7.5). If a 4-bit timer and a 7.5 usec
timer tick is selected, the cycle time would be 120
usec (2**4 x 7.5).

10 3-Bit
11 2-Bit
(see also Rx8C[7-4] and PMIO Rx10[3-0])
4 Fast Clock (7.5us) as Throttle Timer Tick
This bit controls whether the throttle timer tick uses
7.5 usec as its time base (120 usec cycle time when
using a 4-bit timer).
0 Timer Tick is selected by Rx81[1] ........ default
1 Timer Tick is 7.5 usec (Rx81[1] is ignored)
3 SMI Level Output (Low)
0 Disable................................................... default
1 Enable (during an SMI event, SMI# is held
low until SMI event status is cleared)
2 Internal Clock Stop for PCI Idle
This bit controls whether the internal PCI clock is
stopped when PCKRUN# is high.
0 PCI clock is not stopped ........................ default
1 PCI clock is stopped
1 Internal Clock Stop During C3
This bit controls whether the internal PCI clock is
stopped during C3 state.
0 PCI clock is not stopped ........................ default
1 PCI clock is stopped
0 Internal Clock Stop During Suspend
This bit controls whether the internal PCI clock is
stopped during Suspend state.
0 PCI clock is not stopped ........................ default
1 PCI clock is stopped
