S3C2410 SoC

This is an overview about the S3C2410 power states / modes and their capabilities

The S3C2410 has the following modes:

Normal Mode

This is the most power-consuming mode. Regular operation at full clock speed (266MHz). The typical power consumption is 335mW in this mode.

We can dynamically reduce the CPU core clock speed to lower frequencies, if required.

Idle Mode

In this mode, FCLK to the CPU core is switched off. This reduces the power consumption to about half the typical 'Normal mode' consumption: 177mW

Wake-up sources

any interrupt.

Slow Mode

In slow mode, FCLK is tied to the external crystal, i.e. 12MHz in our case. The CPU core, SDRAM and bus clocks are also running at 12MHz.

This reduces the power consumption to typically 33mW.

Wake-up sources

none, we can just use our slowly running code to switch back to Normal mode, if it's required.

Power_off Mode

In Power_off mode, only the SDRAM is held in refresh, and the SoC-internal wake-up logic and RTC is powered. This means that the overall power consumption of the CPU goes down to max. 100uA, which translates to 200uW at 2.0V core voltage.

Wake-up sources

The number of wake-up sources is more restricted in this mode:

  • EINT[0...15]
  • RTC Alarm Interrupt
  • nBATT_FAULT pin

System design considerations

In order to fully support Power_off mode, we need to

  • Be able to switch off VDDi/VDDiarm/VDDi_MPLL/VDDi_UPLL separately from VDDalive, using a switch based on the PWREN signal

System Level

This is a description of the system-level power management.

System Power states

SYS_NO_POWER

In this state, there is no main battery and no USB charger voltage applied

  • PCF50606: SAVE
  • S3C2410: unpowered
  • JBT6K74: unpowered by PMU
  • GSM: unpovered because no Vbatt
  • GPS: unpowered by PMU
  • Bluetooth: unpowered by PMU

SYS_POWER_OFF

This is the regular, "switched off" state of the device.

  • PCF50606: STANDBY
  • S3C2410: unpowered by PMU
  • GSM: Powered down by driving MODEM_ON to LOW
  • GPS: unpowererd by PMU
  • JBT6K74: unpowered by PMU
  • Bluetooth: unpowered by PMU

SYS_POWER_ON_FULL

This is the regular, "fully switched on" state of the device, during user interaction

  • PCF50606: ACTIVE
  • S3C2410: NORMAL
  • GSM: Powered up by driving MODEM_ON to HIGH
  • GPS: Depending usage / configuration
  • Bluetooth: Depending usage / configuration
  • JBT6K74: NORMAL

SYS_POWER_ON_SCRSAVE

This is the screen saver mode, if user doesn't interact with LCM for some time (SCRSAVE_TIMEOUT), default 30sec.

  • PCF50606: ACTIVE
  • S3C2410: SLOW or IDLE
  • GSM: Powered up by driving MODEM_ON to HIGH
  • GPS: Depending usage / configuration
  • Bluetooth : Depending usage / configuration
  • JBT6K74: SLEEP


SYS_SLEEP

This is the power saving mode, if user doesn't interact with LCM within SLEEP_TIMEOUT after SYS_POWER_ON_SCRSAVE was entered, default 30sec.

  • PCF50606: ACTIVE
  • S3C2410: Power_off
  • GSM: Powered up by driving MODEM_ON to HIGH
  • GPS: TBD
  • Bluetooth: Powered down by PMU
  • JBT6K74: Deep Standby

Wake-up reasons

In the following events, we want the main CPU to be able to be woken up:

Events from GSM

  • Incoming phone call
  • Incoming SMS
  • Loss of network signal
Implementation

The GSM daemon configures the GSM Modem in a way to only report the required unsolicited result codes to the UART. The CPU then needs to wake-up as soon as characters arrive at the UART.

NOTE: The S3C2410 cannot resume from Power_off on UART input data. We need to connect either RTS/CTS to EINT, or send some other signals via GSM Modem GPIO to the EINT[0..15] pins of the S3C2410


Button Press

If somebody pushes either the Neo1973 911 Button or the Neo1973 Power Button, the system shall wake up

Implementation
Power Button

During suspend, the PMU is configured to allow PWRONF events to generate interrupts to the CPU.

NOTE: Currently, the PMU IRQ is connected to EINT16, i.e. an interrupt source that cannot wake-up from Power_off mode!


911 Button

The 911 button is connected to a EINT source that can wake-up the CPU from Poewer_off.

This means that resuming on 911 button will work out-of-the-box

Charger Events

If a charger plug (or any other USB device) is connected, the device shall resume and update the battery [charger] status. Also, charger errors such as over/undervoltage, over/under-temperature shall be reported.

Implementation

During suspend, the PMU is configured to allow EXTONR,CHGERR and related events to generate interrupts to the CPU.

NOTE: Currently, the PMU IRQ is connected to EINT16, i.e. an interrupt source that cannot wake-up from Power_off mode!

Kernel API

The battery has a total of 1200mAh, at 3.6V. This is approximately 3500mWh, once power supply losses are taken into account.

    • 200mW with backlight at full brightness
    • 40mW with backlight at 10%

  • CPU
    • 320mW @ 200MHz
    • 450mW @ 266MHz
    • 140mW @ 200MHz idle.
    • 50mW @ 12MHz (slow mode)
      • These include fudge factors for RAM and other systems, from the CPU datasheet.
  • Bluetooth ?
  • GSM ?
  • GPS
    • 45mW
      • Based on comparison with a broadly similar (though not as fully featured chip from Maxim

USB seems unlikely to work in slow mode. The LCD controller is unknown - the product notes say that it has RAM, which may imply it can self-refresh.

This would imply that with the CPU constantly on in low power mode, GPS and GSM blipping on and off, and display off, the worst case power consumption is probably around 70mW, leading to a battery life of 2 days. If the CPU is turned off, battery life rises significantly.

With everything on, playing video with sound, for example should get well over 4 hours.
