Since the GTL+ signals receive power from the FSB, these signals should not be driven (allowing the level to return to VTT) for minimum power drawn by the termination resistors in this state. In addition, all other input signals on the FSB should be driven to the inactive state. BINIT# will not be serviced while the processor is in Stop-Grant state. The event will be latched and can be serviced by software upon exit from the Stop Grant state. RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will stay in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state will occur with the de-assertion of the STPCLK# signal. A transition to the HALT/Grant Snoop state will occur when the processor detects a snoop on the FSB (see Section 6.2.3). While in the Stop-Grant State, SMI#, INIT#, BINIT# and LINT[1:0] will be latched by the processor, and only serviced when the processor returns to the Normal State. Only one occurrence of each event will be recognized upon return to the Normal state. While in Stop-Grant state, the processor will process a FSB snoop. Datasheet 87
