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

14. Active / Dynamic Power

15. 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

16. Industry Standard Performance Benchmarks Execution Time
PIC MCU executes 50% of these algorithms at least 50% faster than the
closest competing ultra low power MCUs!!
Note:
Competitor 16-bit MCU family at 16 MIPS - Speed & Size trade off = 5
PIC24F family at 16 MIPS using MPLAB® C Compiler for PIC24F with Optimization level O3

17. Industry Standard Performance Benchmarks Energy Consumption
Faster execution on PIC translates to lower energy consumption!
Note:
Competitor 16-bit family at 16 MIPS Vdd=3.3V, Typical values for Idd
PIC24F16KA102 family at 16 MIPS using MPLAB C Compiler for PIC24F with Opimization level O3 – Vdd=3.3V, Typical values for Idd
