Power Modes Global Adjustments

Let it rest for sometime

Power consumption is a critical issue for a device running continuously for a long time without being turned off. So to overcome this problem almost every controller comes with a sleep mode, which help developers to design electronic gadgets for optimal power consumption. Sleep mode puts the device in power saving mode by turning off the unused module.

Enum Description#

pub enum SleepMode {/*fields ommited*/}

Contains the following Power Modes:

  • Idle : This mode makes the MCU enter idle mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the SPI, USART, analog comparator, ADC, 2-wire serial interface, Timer/Counters, watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkFLASH, while allowing the other clocks to run.
  • ADCNR : ADC Noise Reducion mode makes the MCU enter ADC noise reduction mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the ADC, the external interrupts, the 2-wire serial interface address watch, Timer/Counter2, and the watchdog to continue operating (if enabled). This sleep mode basically halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkFLASH, while allowing the other clocks to run.
  • Power Down : Power Down mode makes the MCU enter power-down mode. In this mode, the external oscillator is stopped, while the external interrupts, the 2-wire serial interface address watch, and the watchdog continu operating (if enabled). Only an external reset, a watchdog system reset, a watchdog interrupt, a brown-out reset, a 2-wire serial interface address match, an external level interrupt on INT0 or INT1 or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU. This sleep mode basically halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules only.
  • Power Save : Power Save mode is identical to Power Down, with one exception, If Timer/Counter2 is enabled, it will keep running during sleep. The device can wake up from either timer overflow or output compare event from Timer/Counter2 if the corresponding Timer/Counter2 interrupt enable bits are set in TIMSK2, and the global interrupt enable bit in SREG is set.
  • Standby : It is identical to Power Down, with one exception, If Timer/Counter2 is enabled, it will keep running during sleep. The device can wake up from either timer overflow or output compare event from Timer/Counter2 if the corresponding Timer/Counter2 interrupt enable bits are set in TIMSK2, and the global interrupt enable bit in SREG is set.
  • ExtStandby : Extendend Standby mode is identical to Power Save with the exception that the oscillator is kept running. From extended standby mode, the device wakes up in six clock cycles.
