Shutting Down Unused Blocks
As described in
Section 4.5.2.3, "System Clock Control Register (SCCR),"
down certain functional blocks within the device when they are not needed in a particular system. SCCR
can be written by the PowerPC core or by an external master. Powering down a block in this way turns off
all clocks to that block. It does not remove power. It is required that the SCCR is written to shut down a
certain functional block only when that block is idle.
Functional blocks disabled using SCCR cannot respond to configuration
accesses. Any access to configuration, control, and status registers of a
disabled block is a programming error.
5.8.3.3
Software-Controlled Power-Down States
PowerPC software can place the core in doze, nap, or sleep power-down states by writing to HID0 in the
core, as described in detail in the section "Hardware Implementation Register 0 (HID0)," of the e300
PowerPC Core Reference Manual. In addition, if PMCCR[SLPEN] is set when the PowerPC core request
to enter nap or sleep modes, it will also cause the system internal logic units to enter low power mode.
5.8.3.4
Software-Controlled Power Supply Switching
The device has additional low power features that allow power to be removed to a portion of the die,
allowing significant additional power savings. This mode is referred to as D3Warm (described below).
Figure 5-56
illustrates the power segmentation provided on the device. Sequencing in and out of D3Warm
will be described in the following sections.
