among the various states may appear to temporarily transition through intermediate
states. For example, in going from S0 to S3, it may appear to pass through the G1/S1
states. These intermediate transitions and states are not listed in the table.

NOTES:
1. Some wake events can be preserved through power failure.
2. Transitions from the S1–S5 or G3 states to the S0 state are deferred until BATLOW# is
inactive in mobile configurations.

Soft Off (SOFF): System context is not maintained. All power is shut off except
for the logic required to restart. A full boot is required when waking.
Soft Off (SOFF): System context is not maintained. All power is shut off except
for minimal logic that allows exiting Deep S5. A full boot is required when
waking.
Mechanical OFF (MOFF): System context not maintained. All power is shut off
except for the RTC. No "Wake" events are possible. This state occurs if the user
removes the main system batteries in a mobile system, turns off a mechanical
switch, or if the system power supply is at a level that is insufficient to power the
"waking" logic. When system power returns, transition will depend on the state
just prior to the entry to G3 and the AFTERG3 bit in the GEN_PMCON3 register
(D31:F0, offset A4). Refer to
