Introduction
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
specification (ACPI; [1]), written by a consortium
representing Intel, Microsoft and Toshiba, attempts to evolve
the current collection of power management methods and
configuration interfaces into a well-specified and unified
power management and configuration mechanism. The key
objective in the ACPI specification is to transfer all control of
power management and configuration functions to the
operating system, thus enabling Operating System Directed
Power Management (OSPM). ACPI-compliant systems will
benefit from a robust interface for configuring motherboard
devices, a versatile power management interface enabling a
wide variety of solutions with full operating-system support,
and not lastly, a realm of new, intelligent possibilities added
to the already broad span of PC uses.
The HIP6501A is the first Intersil IC to be used in conjunction
with a second chip to provide a complete ACPI-sanctioned
motherboard power regulation solution. The
HIP6501A/HIP6021 chip sets produce the processor core,
GTL bus, memory controller hub, and clock chip voltages, as
well as the SDRAM memory, 3.3V and 5V dual voltage
planes [2, 3] necessary for a complete PIII-Whitney system
implementation.
Quick Start Evaluation
IMPORTANT!
Given the specialized nature of the HIP6501A, the
HIP6501AEVAL1 board is meant to be evaluated only with
an ATX power supply. Furthermore, only an ACPI-ready ATX
supply can be used to power-up the evaluation board
(720mA capability on 5VSB output; ATX Specification v2.02,
[4]). Standard laboratory power supplies are not suitable for
powering up this evaluation board.
Circuit Setup
? Set up JP1 and JP2
Before connecting the input ATX supply to the
HIP6501AEVAL1 board, consult the data sheet and set the
JP1 and JP2 configuration jumpers according to the
configuration you wish to emulate. This configuration is
latched in at power-up, but can be subsequently changed
during active state operation (S0, S1) or during a chip
shutdown (while PB1 is being pressed). See HIP6501A data
sheet for information on all the available configurations and
how to set them [5].
? Connect the Input Power Supply
Ensuring that the supply is not plugged into the mains, or
that the AC switch is off (if provided), connect the main ATX
output connector to J1.
? Connect the Output Loads
Connect typical standby loads to all the evaluation board’s
outputs. Consult Table 1 for maximum loads supported by
the design of the HIP6501AEVAL1 in the configuration
received; consult the ‘HIP6501AEVAL1 Modifications’
chapter for information on modifying the evaluation board to
meet your special needs.
? Set Start-Up State (Active Is Recommended)
If start-up in active state is desired, ensure both ‘S3’ and ‘S5’
switches are in the off position (away from ‘S3’ or ‘S5’
marking). Ensure the ‘ATX ON’ switch is also in the off
position.
Set either the ‘S3’ or the ‘S5’ switch for start-up in either of
the standby states. IMPORTANT: only one switch needs to
be actuated, so select the standby state by turning on the
switch with that name - t he signal conditioning circuitry
ensures correct S3 and S5 pin stimulation.
Operation
? Provide Bias Voltage to the Board
Plug the ATX supply into the mains. If the supply has an AC
switch, turn it on. The ‘5VSB’ (LP4) LED should light up,
indicating the presence of 5V standby voltage on board.
? Examine Start-Up Waveforms
Sleep state start-up is immediate following application of
bias voltage. Using an oscilloscope or other laboratory
equipment, you may study the ramp-up and/or regulation of
the controlled voltages, according to the specific JP1, 2
configuration previously set and the specific standby state
selected.
For start-up into an active state (standby switches set off
prior to application of bias voltage), flip on the ‘ATX ON’
switch. This will turn on the main ATX outputs and the
HIP6501A will start up into active state. Once turned on,
SW1 needs not be turned off until bias is removed from the
board.
? Examine Output Quality Under Varying Loads
In either state (sleep or active) vary the output loads to
simulate computer loads typical of the specific operating
state the circuit is in.
