A4.16
STANDBYWFI[3:0] and STANDBYWFIL2 signals
The
STANDBYWFI[n]
signal indicates when an individual core is in idle and low-power state. The
power management controller can remove power from an individual core when
STANDBYWFI[n]
is
asserted.
The
STANDBYWFIL2
signal indicates when all individual cores and the L2 memory system are in idle
and low-power state. A power management controller can remove power from the Cortex
‑
A35 processor
when
STANDBYWFIL2
is asserted. See
A4.8 Powering down the processor without system driven L2
A4.10 Powering down the processor with system driven L2 flush
for more information.
The Cortex
‑
A35 processor includes a minimal L2 memory system in configurations without an L2 cache.
Therefore, the power management controller must always wait for assertion of
STANDBYWFIL2
before removing power from the Cortex
‑
A35 processor. This applies to configurations that use the mini-
SCU and configurations that use the SCU.
The following figure shows how
STANDBYWFI[3:0]
and
STANDBYWFIL2
correspond to individual
cores and the Cortex
‑
A35 processor.
