Abstract
A peripheral device having a circuit to detect the power management state of a central processor, a first interface to receive data, and a second interface to couple the peripheral device to the central processor. The peripheral device prevents data transfers that would cause the central processor to change from a second power management state to a first power management state if the central processor is in the second power management state.
