Signaling EINT[15:0] for Wakeup

The S3C2440A can be woken up from SLEEP mode only if the following conditions are met.

a) Level signals (H or L) or edge signals (rising, falling or both) are asserted on EINTn input pin.

b) The EINTn pin has to be configured as EINT in the GPIO control register.

c) nBATT_FLT pin has to be H level. It is important to configure the EINTn in the GPIO control register as an

external interrupt pins, considering the condition a) above.

Just after the wake-up, the corresponding EINTn pin will not be used for wakeup. This means that the pin can be
used as an external interrupt request pin again.

Entering IDLE Mode

If CLKCON[2] is set to 1 to enter the IDLE mode, the S3C2440A will enter IDLE mode after some delay (until the
power control logic receives ACK signal from the CPU wrapper).

PLL On/Off

The PLL can only be turned off for low power consumption in slow mode. If the PLL is turned off in any other
mode, MCU operation is not guaranteed.

When the processor is in SLOW mode and tries to change its state into other state with the PLL turned on, then
SLOW_BIT should be clear to move to another state after PLL stabilization

Pull-up Resistors on the Data Bus and SLEEP Mode

In SLEEP mode, the data bus (D[31:0] or D[15:0] ) can be selected as Hi-z state and Output Low state.

The data bus can be set as Hi-z status with turning on pull-up register or can be set as output low with turning off
pull-up register for low power consumption in SLEEP mode. D[31:0] pin pull-up resistors can be controlled by the
GPIO control register (MISCCR). However, if there is an external bus holder, such as 74LVCH162245, on the data
bus, User can select one of two status – one is output low with pull-up off, the other is Hi-z with pull-up off - , which
consumes less power.
