Power Down Modes

13eXtreme Low Power

XLP Low Power Modes

7 operating modes, configured by software:

RUN [active power] Core & Peripherals run at same clock speed

DOZE [active power] Core slower, peripherals full speed Typically 35%-75% of full RUN current

IDLE [active power] Core OFF, peripherals ON Typically 25% of full RUN current

SLEEP [static power] Core OFF, most peripherals OFF Active: RAM, WDT, BOR, RTCC, Timer, UART, LCD, Interrupts (UART, I/O, Timer, INT0-4), Fast Wake Time

Low Voltage SLEEP [static power] Core OFF, most peripherals OFF Active: RAM (1/10th Current), WDT, BOR, RTCC, Timer, UART, LCD, Interrupts (UART, I/O, Timer, INT0-4), Med. Wake Time

DEEP SLEEP [static power] Core & most peripherals not powered Active: Registers (2), WDT, BOR, RTCC, Interrupt (INT0), Reset Wake Time

Vbat [static power] Core & all peripherals power removed or battery dead Active: Battery backed Registers (2) and RTCC, Reset Wake Time
