12. Power Down Modes

13. 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]
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

14. Choice of Power Down Modes

18. Instruction Set Efficiency
PIC has ~80-90% Single Cycle
Faster Code Execution
Less Power
MSP430 is <10%
Longer Run Times

19. Industry Standard Performance Benchmarks
PIC24F is typically 2x the speed of MSP430! T
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

20. Energy Consumption MSP430 takes 150% longer than PIC24F
AND…uses 130% more energy!
Approx. C Code:
Sleep();
LATBbits.LATB2 = 1;
memcpy(testArr1,testArr2,sizeof(testArr1));
LATBbits.LATB2 = 0; 3V
