The computer is running and the CPU executes instructions. "Away mode" is a subset of S0, where monitor is off but background tasks are running. G1 Sleeping S0ix Modern Standby, [34] or "Low Power S0 Idle". Partial processor SoC sleep. [35] [36] Sub states include S0i1, S0i2 and S0i3. Known to ARM and x86 devices. S1
Sleep mode has gone by various names, including Stand By, Suspend and Suspend to RAM. Machine state is held in RAM and, when placed in sleep mode, the computer cuts power to unneeded subsystems and places the RAM into a minimum power state, just sufficient to retain its data. Because of the large power saving, most laptops automatically enter ...
Sleep mode and hibernation can be combined: the contents of RAM are copied to the non-volatile storage and the computer enters sleep mode. This approach combines the benefits of sleep mode and hibernation: The machine can resume instantaneously, and its state, including open and unsaved files, survives a power outage.
InstantGo, also known as InstantOn or Modern Standby (formerly Connected Standby), [1] is a Microsoft specification for Windows 8 (and later) hardware and software that aims to bring smartphone-type power management capabilities to the PC platform, as well as increasing physical security.
Standby (theater), an actor or performer who will appear in a particular role if the regular performer is not present; Sleep mode (in electronics), also known as standby mode—a mode in which electronic appliances are turned off but still under power and ready to activate on command Standby (or ACPI S3), an ACPI mode of a computer
Standby power consumption can be reduced by unplugging or totally switching off, if possible, devices with a standby mode not currently in use; if several devices are used together or only when a room is occupied, they can be connected to a single power strip that is switched off when not needed. This may cause some electronic devices ...
Power On (IEC 60417-5007) and Power Off (IEC 60417-5008) symbols are used to indicate positions of the rocker switch Power button marked with Standby symbol (IEC 60417-5009) turns the device on or off without fully disconnecting power supply. A power symbol is a symbol indicating that a control activates or deactivates a particular device.
Power gating uses low-leakage PMOS transistors as header switches to shut off power supplies to parts of a design in standby or sleep mode. NMOS footer switches can also be used as sleep transistors. Inserting the sleep transistors splits the chip's power network into a permanent power network connected to the power supply and a virtual power ...
