24309E-March 2002 Preliminary Information AMD Athlon™ XP Processor Model 6 Data Sheet Figure 4 shows STPCLK# assertion resulting in the processor in the Stop Grant state and the AMD Athlon system bus disconnected. STPCLK# AMD Athlon™ System Bus Stop Grant CONNECT PROCRDY CLKFWDRST PCI Bus Stop Grant Figure 4. AMD Athlon™ System Bus Disconnect Sequence in the Stop Grant State An example of the AMD Athlon system bus disconnect sequence is as follows: 1. The peripheral controller (Southbridge) asserts STPCLK# to place the processor in the Stop Grant state. 2. When the processor recognizes STPCLK# asserted, it enters the Stop Grant state and then issues a Stop Grant special cycle. 3. When the special cycle is received by the Northbridge, it deasserts CONNECT, assuming no probes are pending, initiating a bus disconnect to the processor. 4. The processor responds to the Northbridge by deasserting PROCRDY. 5. The Northbridge asserts CLKFWDRST to complete the bus disconnect sequence. 6. After the processor is disconnected from the bus, the processor enters a low-power state. The Northbridge passes the Stop Grant special cycle along to the Southbridge. Chapter 4 Power Management 15
