<strong>PCIe</strong> Power Management Overview<br />

n<br />

n<br />

<strong>PCIe</strong> PM involves transitioning devices through L<br />

states<br />

l <strong>PCIe</strong> Active State Power Management (ASPM) allows<br />

autonomous hardware based active state control of a device<br />

– If the Link is inactive for a period of time,<br />

ASPM transitions the device to a lower power<br />

state<br />

PCI PM involves ‘D’ states<br />

l<br />

Express devices emulate D state transitions by moving the<br />

device through Express L states<br />

n<br />

The Link Training and Status State Machine<br />

(LTSSM) controls device’s Data Link and<br />

Physical Layer operation<br />
