Overview
Suspend To Hard Drive
"Immediately" turns on system and goes back to the original screen before
power down. You can resume your original work directly from hard disk without
go through the Win95 booting process and run your application again.
Suspend to Hard Drive saves your current work (system status, memory
image) into hard disk. Note that you have to use VESA compatible PCI VGA,
Sound Blaster compatible sound card with APM driver, for Suspend to Hard
Drive to work properly.
Internal Modem Card Wake-up
In conjunction with ATX soft power On/Off, it is possible to have system totally
power off and wakeup to automatically answer a phone call such as answering
machine or to send/receive fax. The most important break through is not only
external box modem but also internal modem card can be used to support
Modem Wake Up. The AX6L and MP56 internal modem card implement
special circuit (patent applied) to make sure the modem card work properly
without any power.
RTC Wake Up Timer
The Wake Up Timer is more like an alarm, which wakes up and power on your
system at a pre-defined time for specific application. It can be set to wake up
everyday or on specific date within a month. The date/time accurate is second.
High Efficient Synchronous Switching Regulator
Most of the current switching designs are Asynchronous mode, which from the
technical point of view, still consumes very high power as well as heat. AX6L
implements high efficient synchronous switching design that the temperature
of MOS FET is far less than Schottky diode of Asynchronous design.
Over Current Protection Circuit
The Over Current Protection was very popular implemented on the Baby AT or
ATX 3.3V/5V/12V switching power supply. But unfortunately, the new
generation Pentium II CPU uses different voltage that have regulator to
transfer 5V to CPU voltage (for example, 2.8V), and make 5V over current
protection useless. AX6L with switching regulator onboard support CPU over
current protection, in conjunction with 3.3V/5V/12V power supply provide the
full line over current protection.
