  • Page 83: Chapter 6 System Power

    Chapter 6 System Power This chapter covers the Stylistic LT pen tablet’s system power hardware, power management states, and state transitions. System Power Hardware The Stylistic LT pen tablet uses components designed for low power consumption in mobile applications. DC power, whether supplied by the battery pack or an external source, is regulated to different voltage levels required to power various components in the system.

  • Page 84: Dc Power Inputs

    The Stylistic LT pen tablet BIOS and system hardware are compliant with the following power specifications: • Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS Interface Specification Revision 1.2 •...

  • Page 85: Power States And State Transitions

    Power States and State Transitions The system manages power consumption by performing transitions between system power states, or modes. State transitions can be triggered by timeouts configured in the BIOS, and other types of system activity. Figure 6-1 shows system power states, transition paths and some typical events that trigger a transition from one state to the next.

  • Page 86: Table 6-2 System Power States

    Table 6-2 describes system activity for each system power state and describes events that cause the system to enter each state. System power states are listed here in decreasing order from higher to lower power usage. The system can be configured to use some, all, or a combination of these system power states.

  • Page 87: Power Management States And Bios Configuration Options

    Power Management States and BIOS Configuration Options The system power states utilized by your system depend on how power management options are configured in the BIOS. System power states and BIOS options that affect each state are described in this section.

  • Page 89: Suspend-To-Disk Mode

    Suspend-to-Disk Mode Note: Suspend-to-Disk mode can be entered either by pressing the Suspend/Resume button (if so configured in BIOS) or by pressing the Suspend-to-Disk hotpad which will always do a Suspend-to-Disk. In Suspend-to-Disk mode, data in RAM and video memory are written to the hard disk drive and, with the exception of resume logic circuits connected to the Suspend/Resume button switch, the system is completely powered down.

  • Page 90: Apm Cpu Idle Mode

    APM CPU Idle Mode If Advanced Power Management (APM) is enabled in Windows (which is the default setting), power management timeouts for most power-managed devices are controlled by Windows. (Power-managed devices that are not controlled by Windows are controlled by the BIOS.) When APM is enabled, CPU activity in Idle mode differs from that described earlier in this section.

  • Page 91: Other Power Management Issues

    Other Power Management Issues Issues described up to this point in this chapter deal with configurable options in the BIOS that affect system performance and power consumption. Other power management features are built into the system to prevent heat damage and data loss. System Temperature and Power Management The system has a built in thermal detection circuit that monitors system temperature.

  • Page 92: Battery Charge Level And Power Management

    Battery Charge Level and Power Management The pen tablet monitors the voltage of the battery pack. When the voltage drops to low levels, the system is forced into Idle or Suspend mode to increase battery life and prevent data loss. Table 6-5 describes system operation for different battery charge levels.
