Peripheral Logic Power Management
In doze, nap, and sleep modes, the peripheral logic always monitors the internal bus request
signal from the processor core. When it is asserted, for example due to the occurrence of
the decrementer exception, the peripheral logic exits its low power state and goes back to
the full-power state to service the request.
The MPC8240 does not support the broadcast of PCI special cycles related to low-power
operation. Thus, the PMCR1[NO_NAP_MSG] and PMCR1[NO_SLEEP_MSG] bits must
be set by initialization software (they are cleared upon reset) to indicate that the MPC8240
does not broadcast the HALT or sleep message commands on the PCI bus before entering
the nap or sleep modes, respectively.
Table 14-2 summarizes the functionality and transition criteria of the peripheral logic block
in all power states.

A PCI access to memory in nap mode does not cause QACK to negate; consequently, it does not wake up the
processor core, and the processor core won't snoop this access. After servicing the PCI access, the peripheral
logic automatically returns to the nap mode.
