Page 46: A4.1 About Power Management
A4 Power management A4.1 About power management A4.1 About power management The Cortex-A76 core provides mechanisms to control both dynamic and static power dissipation. Dynamic power management includes the following features: • Architectural clock gating. • Per-core Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS).
Page 47: A4.2 Voltage Domains
The Cortex-A76 core supports a VCPU voltage domain and a VSYS voltage domain. The following figure shows the VCPU and VSYS voltage domains in each Cortex-A76 core and in the DSU. The example shows a configuration with four Cortex-A76 cores.
Page 48: A4.3 Power Domains
A4.3 Power domains A4.3 Power domains The Cortex-A76 core contains a core power domain (PDCPU), and a core top-level SYS power domain (PDSYS) where all the Cortex-A76 core I/O signals go through. The PDCPU power domain contains all logic and part of the core asynchronous bridge that enyo_cpu belongs to the VCPU domain.
Page 49 PDSYS VSYS voltage domain Figure A4-2 Cortex-A76 core power domain diagram at enyo_core level The following figure shows the power domains in the DSU, where everything in the same color is part of the same power domain. The example shows four Cortex-A76 cores. The number of Cortex-A76 cores can vary, and the number of domains increases based on the number of Cortex-A76 cores present.
Page 50: A4.4 Architectural Clock Gating Modes
A4.4 Architectural clock gating modes When the Cortex-A76 core is in standby mode, it is architecturally clock gated at the top of the clock tree. Wait for Interrupt (WFI) and Wait for Event (WFE) are features of Armv8-A architecture that put the core in a low-power standby mode by architecturally disabling the clock at the top of the clock tree.
Page 51 The EVENTI input signal is asserted. • The core detects a reset. For more information, see the Arm Architecture Reference Manual Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture ® profile. 100798_0300_00_en Copyright © 2016–2018 Arm Limited or its affiliates. All rights A4-51 reserved. Non-Confidential...
Page 52: A4.5 Power Control
All power mode transitions are performed at the request of the power controller, using a P-Channel interface to communicate with the Cortex-A76 core. There is one P-Channel per core, plus one P-Channel for the cluster. The Cortex-A76 core provides the current requirements on the PACTIVE signals, so that the power controller can make decisions and request any change with PREQ and PSTATE.
Page 53: A4.6 Core Power Modes
RAM within the core domain. A4.6.2 The Cortex-A76 core supports a full shutdown mode where power can be removed completely and no state is retained. The shutdown can be for either the whole cluster or just for an individual core, which allows other cores in the cluster to continue operating.
Page 56: A4.7 Encoding For Power Modes
It is tied off to 0 and should be inferred when all other PACTIVE bits are LOW.

Page 99: A7.2 About The L2 Cache
The L2 cache is invalidated automatically at reset unless the DISCACHEINVLD signal is set HIGH when the Cortex-A76 core is reset. This signal must be used only in diagnostic mode. If caches are not invalidated on reset, their functionality cannot be guaranteed. See the Arm...
Page 100: A7.3 Support For Memory Types
Memory that is marked Outer Write-Through or Outer Non-cacheable is downgraded to Non- cacheable, even if the inner attributes are Write-Back cacheable. The following table shows the transaction capabilities of the Cortex-A76 core. It lists the maximum possible values for read, write, DVM issuing, and snoop capabilities of the private L2 cache.
Page 101: Reliability, Availability, And Serviceability (Ras)
Chapter A8 Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) This chapter describes the RAS features implemented in the Cortex-A76 core. It contains the following sections: • A8.1 Cache ECC and parity on page A8-102. • A8.2 Cache protection behavior on page A8-103.
Page 102: A8.1 Cache Ecc And Parity
The Cortex-A76 core implements the RAS extension to the Armv8-A architecture which provides mechanisms for standardized reporting of the errors generated by cache protection mechanisms. When configured with core cache protection, the Cortex-A76 core can detect and correct a 1-bit error in any RAM and detect 2-bit errors in some RAMs.
Page 103: Cache Protection Behavior
The configuration of the RAS extension that is implemented in the Cortex-A76 core includes cache protection. In this case, the Cortex-A76 core protects against errors that result in a RAM bitcell holding the incorrect value. The RAMs in the Cortex-A76 core have the following capability: Single Error Detect.
Page 104 To ensure that progress is guaranteed even in case of hard error, the core returns corrected data to the core, and no cache access is required after data correction. 100798_0300_00_en Copyright © 2016–2018 Arm Limited or its affiliates. All rights A8-104 reserved.
Page 105: A8.3 Uncorrected Errors And Data Poisoning
In this case, the line is invalidated and an error recovery interrupt is generated to notify software that data has potentially been lost. 100798_0300_00_en Copyright © 2016–2018 Arm Limited or its affiliates. All rights A8-105 reserved.
Page 106: A8.4 Ras Error Types
When a component accesses memory, an error might be detected in that memory and then be corrected, deferred, or detected but silently propagated. The following table lists the types of RAS errors that are supported in the Cortex-A76 core. Table A8-2 RAS error types supported in the Cortex-A76 core RAS error type Definition Corrected A Corrected Error (CE) is reported for a single-bit ECC error on any protected RAM.

Page 112: A9.1 About The Generic Interrupt Controller Cpu Interface
A9.1 About the Generic Interrupt Controller CPU interface The Cortex-A76 core implements the GIC CPU interface as described in the Arm Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification. This interfaces with an external GICv3 or GICv4 distributor component within the cluster system and is a resource for supporting and managing interrupts.
Page 113: A9.2 Bypassing The Cpu Interface
A9.2 Bypassing the CPU interface The GIC CPU Interface is always implemented within the Cortex-A76 core. However, you can disable it if you assert the GICCDISABLE signal HIGH at reset. If you disable the GIC CPU interface, the input pins nVIRQ and nVFIQ can be driven by an external GIC in the SoC. GIC...
