SMI# (System Management Interrupt)

Pin Attribute

Input, Internal Pullup

Pin Location

AB-34

Summary

The assertion of SMI# causes the processor to enter system

management mode (SMM). Upon recognizing SMI#, the

processor performs the following actions, in the order shown:

1. Flushes its instruction pipelines

2. Completes all pending and in-progress bus cycles

3. Acknowledges the interrupt by asserting SMIACT# after

sampling EWBE# asserted (if EWBE# is masked off, then

SMIACT# is not affected by EWBE#)

4. Saves the internal processor state in SMM memory

5. Disables interrupts by clearing the interrupt flag (IF) in

EFLAGS and disables NMI interrupts

6. Jumps to the entry point of the SMM service routine at the

SMM base physical address which defaults to 0003_8000h in

SMM memory

See “System Management Mode (SMM)” on page 217 for more

details regarding SMM.

Sampled

SMI# is sampled and latched as a falling edge-sensitive signal.

SMI# is sampled on every clock edge but is not recognized until

the next instruction boundary. If SMI# is to be recognized on

the instruction boundary associated with a BRDY#, it must be

sampled asserted a minimum of three clock edges before the

BRDY# is sampled asserted. If it is asserted synchronously, it

can be asserted for a minimum of one clock. If it is asserted

asynchronously, it must have been negated for a minimum of

two clocks followed by an assertion of a minimum of two clocks.

A second assertion of SMI# while in SMM is latched but is not

recognized until the SMM service routine is exited.
