UART Power Management
Parallel Port
Direct power management is controlled by
CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.
Direct power management is controlled by
CR22. Refer to CR22 for more information.
Auto Power Management is enabled by CR23-
B4 and B5. When set, these bits allow the
following auto power management operations:
Auto Power Management is enabled by CR23-
B3. When set, this bit allows the ECP or EPP
logical parallel port blocks to be placed into
powerdown when not being used.
1. The transmitter enters auto powerdown
when the transmit buffer and shift register
are empty.
The EPP logic is in powerdown under any of the
following conditions:
2. The receiver enters powerdown when the
following conditions are all met:
1. EPP is not enabled in the configuration
registers.
A. Receive FIFO is empty
B. The receiver is waiting for a start bit.
2. EPP is not selected through ecr while in
ECP mode.
Note:
While in powerdown the Ring Indicator
interrupt is still valid and transitions
when the RI input changes.
The ECP logic is in powerdown under any of the
following conditions:
1. ECP is not enabled in the configuration
registers.
Exit Auto Powerdown
2
SPP, PS/2 Parallel port or EPP mode is
selected through ecr while in ECP mode.
The transmitter exits powerdown on a write to
the XMIT buffer.
The receiver exits auto
powerdown when RXDx changes state.
Exit Auto Powerdown
The parallel port logic can change powerdown
modes when the ECP mode is changed through
the ecr register or when the parallel port mode is
changed through the configuration registers.
