Description
Deep Sleep: This signal is asserted by the Intel® SCH to
the processor. When the signal is low, the processor enters
the Deep Sleep state by gating off the processor Core clock
inside the processor. When the signal is high (default), the
processor is not in the Deep Sleep state. This signal and the
H_STPCLK# pin shut the clock in the processor and at the
clock generator, respectively. The H_DPSLP# assertion time
is wider than the H_STPCLK# assertion time in order for
the processor to receive an active clock input whenever
H_DPSLP# is deasserted.

Deeper Sleep: When asserted on the platform, this signal
causes the processor to transition from the Deep Sleep
State to the Deeper Sleep state. To return to the deep sleep
state, H_DPRSTP# must be deasserted.

CPU Power Good: This signal is used for Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep® Technology support. H_CPUPWRGD goes to
the processor. It is kept high during the Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep® Technology state transition to prevent loss of
processor context.

Data Strobes: These signals are the data strobes used
for capturing data. Each strobe signal corresponds to 8
data bits. During writes, SM_DQSx is centered in data.
During reads, SM_DQSx is edge aligned with data.
