Abstract

The invention provides a kind of telephone and related methods that can moderate the south north bridge circuit and the cpu cutovers and dissimilarities to economize on energy the status. In better implementation instance of the invention, the arrangement that to open the drain electrode establishes between the south north bridge circuit a the indication on line telephone.When the south north bridge circuit wants to handle the main wire total control the request, can distinguish on should indicate the on line telephone the delivery indicates the signal, but open the arrangement of the drain electrode to make should indicate the on line telephone is of south north bridge circuit of the signal energy simultaneous reaction to the situation of transaction that the lord of electric mains controls the request. According to the signal of the indication on line telephone, the south north bridge circuit is can immediately control the cpu cutover in appropriate economy energy status to control the request with the service electric mains lord, don'ting need to be restore by the cpu to the whole function status then can moderate to handle the lord of electric mains to control the request.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a circuit and a related method capable of coordinating the switching between the north-south bridge circuit and the central processing unit in different energy-saving states, and in particular to a circuit with a streamlined open-drain architecture indicating the on-line circuit so that the north-south bridge circuit can coordinate the switching of the central processing unit Circuit and related method for supporting bus master service in C2 / C3 power-saving state. Background technique [0002] Computer system is one of the most important hardware foundations of modern information society. In addition to the pursuit of performance, modern computer systems also need to pay attention to the reduction of energy consumption. Therefore, modern information manufacturers also regard reducing energy consumption as one of the key points in the research and development of computer systems. [0003] In the computer system, there ...
