Power saving modes

43/123

7.2

Slow mode

This mode has two targets:

●

To reduce power consumption by decreasing the internal clock in the device,

●

To adapt the internal clock frequency (fCPU) to the available supply voltage.

Slow mode is controlled by the SMS bit in the MCCSR register which enables or disables

Slow mode.

In this mode, the oscillator frequency is divided by 32. The CPU and peripherals are clocked

at this lower frequency.

Note:

Slow-Wait mode is activated when entering Wait mode while the device is already in Slow

mode.

7.3

Wait mode

Wait mode places the MCU in a low power consumption mode by stopping the CPU.

This power saving mode is selected by calling the ‘WFI’ instruction.

All peripherals remain active. During Wait mode, the I bit of the CC register is cleared, to

enable all interrupts. All other registers and memory remain unchanged. The MCU remains

in Wait mode until an interrupt or Reset occurs, whereupon the Program Counter branches

to the starting address of the interrupt or Reset service routine.

The MCU will remain in Wait mode until a Reset or an Interrupt occurs, causing it to wake

up.

Refer to Figure 18 for a description of the Wait mode flowchart.
