• Sleep command • Standby command • Standby Immediate command 10.6.1 Power mode Sleep Mode Standby Mode Idle Mode Active Mode The lowest power consumption when the device is powered on occurs in Sleep Mode. When in Sleep Mode, the device requires a reset to be activated. The device interface is capable of accepting commands, but since the media may not be immediately accessible, there is a delay while waiting for the spindle to reach operating speed. Refer to Section 10.7 "Advanced Power Management (ABLE-3) feature" on page 56. The device is in execution of a command or accessing the disk media with the read lookahead function or the write cache function. 10.6.2 Power management commands The Check Power Mode command allows a host to determine if a device is currently in, going to, or leaving standby mode. The Idle and Idle Immediate commands move a device to idle mode immediately from the active or standby modes. The idle command also sets the standby timer count and starts the standby timer. The sleep command moves a device to sleep mode. The device's interface becomes inactive at the completion of the sleep command. A reset is required to move a device out of sleep mode. When a device exits sleep mode it will enter standby mode. The Standby and Standby Immediate commands move a device to standby mode immediately from the active or idle modes. The standby command also sets the standby timer count. 10.6.3 Standby/Sleep command completion time 1. Confirm the completion of writing cached data in the buffer to media. 2. Unload the heads on the ramp. 3. Set the DRDY bit and the DSC bit in Status Register. 4. Set the INTRQ (completion of the command). 5. Activate the spindle break to stop the spindle motor. 6. Wait until the spindle motor is stopped. 7. Perform the post process. 10.6.4 Standby timer The standby timer provides a method for the device to automatically enter standby mode from either active or idle mode following a host programmed period of inactivity. If the device is in the active or idle mode, the device waits for the specified time period and if no command is received, the device automatically enters the standby mode. 10.6.5 Status In the active, idle, and standby modes, the device shall have the RDY bit of the status register set. If the BSY bit is not set, the device shall be ready to accept any command. Travelstar 5K100 (Serial ATA) Hard Disk Drive Specification 55
