Active to Shutdown (S0 to S5 transition). Table 1 shows the
switch positions and the corresponding ACPI states.
If both the S3 and S5 switches are thrown to S3 and S5,
respectively, the board will default to an S5 state. If the board
is in either an S3 or S5 sleep state, the ATX supply is put into
standby mode, where only the 5VSBY rail is active.
Initial Power Up - Cold Start
If both the S3 and S5 switches are toggled to the ACTIVE
position prior to applying AC power to the ATX supply, the
board will immediately enter into S0 state when the 5VSBY
rail comes up after the AC power is applied to the ATX.
Figure 2 shows a Cold Start. Examination of the V
waveform shows this rail ramping up with the V
This is due to an external circuit that was included on the
evaluation board and is described in the section titled
“Grantsdale VDAC Sequencing Circuitry” on page 5.
S5 Sleep State to S0 State Transition
If the S5 switch is toggled to the S5 position prior to
application of AC power to the ATX supply, then the board
will immediately enter into the S5 sleep state when the
5VSBY rail comes up after the AC voltage is applied to the
ATX. The ISL6506 will bring up the 3VDUAL rail but all other
output rails will be inactive. The transition from the S5 state
to the S0 state will occur when the S5 switch is toggled to the
S3 SWITCH S5 SWITCH

ACTIVE position. Figure 3 shows this transition. Note that
the 3VDUAL rail are already active prior to the other rails soft
starting. If the ISL6506A had been used, the 5VDUAL rail
would have been active in the S5 state as well. During
testing of the evaluation board, it may be observed that the
5VDUAL rail stays up during the S5 sleep state. If this
behavior is observed, the explanation would be that the bulk
capacitor on the 5VDUAL rail did not discharge a significant
amount while the board was in the S5 sleep state.
S0 to S3 Sleep State Transition
Figure 4 shows the transition from the S0 state to the S3
sleep state.To achieve this transition, switch S3 is toggled to
the S3 position. When transitioning from the S0 state to the
S3 sleep state, it is important that the load on the
