ABSTRACT:
A distributed I/O device monitoring logic for power management control. The distributed I/O device monitoring logic reduces the gate count of convention device monitoring logic since the decode logic does not exist at two locations in the system. The distributed I/O device monitoring logic also has the benefits of self configuring monitor circuits, improved functionality, and decreased system power management overhead. The distributed I/O device monitoring logic comprises peripheral control for monitoring an I/O address range of at least one I/O device and for detecting access to the I/O device; system controller means coupled to the peripheral control for providing a ready (RDY #) signal and a system management interrupt (SMI #) signal; and central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the peripheral control and the system controller means for receiving the RDY # signal and the SMI # signal from the system controller and for sending information to both the system controller and the peripheral control.
