4.5 Power Management
In M6117D internal circuit, it has an internal signal SMIJ which is used to inform system to enter Power Management (Hyper
State Mode; HSM) space if an event happens. However, there are other extra choices to achieve power management. They
are NMI, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ6, IRQ7, IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12, IRQ14, and IRQ15. Chip only switches the SMI
signal to internal NMI or IRQs if it is selected when an event happens. Index 55h : D[1-0] and Index 38h : D[3-0] determine
which one is selected.
Please refer to Appendix A and B for CPU information in this section.

Notice that the system is not going to enter HSM space if you choose NMI or other IRQs timing support. All power
management using NMI and other IRQs timing are handled by software.
4.5.1 SMI Structure
Like other green CPUs, M6117 needs a special memory space to place Hyper State Mode (HSM) routine if you would like to
use M6117 deep green features. We can enter HSM space by hardware SMIJ (System Management Interrupt) or instruction
BRKPM, OP code : 0F1h, and return by instruction RETPM, OP code: 0D6h, 0E6h. How to use power management
functions efficiently to minimize the system power consumption is a challenge.
