Power Down Modes
Choice of Power Down Modes Active Sleep Deep Current Consumption Two Power down options available on some nanoWatt XLP™ devices Sleep (with RAM Retention) & Deep Sleep (2 registers saved) Three Application Scenarios: Sleep most of the time Wake-up every second to process data then go back to sleep 1 Sleep most of the time Wake-up every second to update software calendar and decide whether it is time to process data or not then go back to sleep Process data once every hour, day etc. 2 Sleep most of the time Wake-up to process data once every hour, day etc. 3 Very likely to use SLEEP Mode Potentially use DEEP SLEEP mode with RTCC Very likely to use DEEP SLEEP mode

Active / Dynamic Power
Energy Consumption in Active Mode Factors affecting Energy Consumption Run/Dynamic Current, IDD Influenced by process technology, architecture, among other factors etc. Execution Time Voltage Energy Consumption = Execution Time x Active Current x Voltage Faster execution means less time staying awake Potentially lower Active Power Factors affecting execution time Single-Cycle Instructions Instruction Set Architecture Clock Frequency
