Five operating modes (power modes) are provided to allow for optimization of the device power consumption based on application requirements. In order of decreasing power, the modes are: RUN, SLEEP, STOP, STANDBY. The following figure shows the interaction between the modes.
Section 2.1.2.6 indicates what functions are available in each operating mode of the device. See the operating mode selection section for information on how to configure the device for a particular operating mode.
MSPM0 MCUs implement a policy-based power and clock management scheme. Policies can be configured through application software for how the clocking is to managed in each operating mode to obtain the best balance of power and performance for a given application.
After the operating policy for each mode is configured, application software can enter and exit the various operating modes through simple register commands, and SYSCTL automatically manages all the necessary PMU states, oscillator and clock enable and disables, and the SYSOSC frequency according to the software-defined policies and software-selected mode.
A variety of hardware-triggered low-power mode suspension mechanisms also exist to enable on-demand access to a fast clock when requested by supported peripherals, as well as functions such as DMA and ADC triggering from low-power modes.
The policy-driven operating mode scheme together with the asynchronous low-power mode suspension mechanisms enable application software to select the operating mode and corresponding policy that provide the lowest possible power consumption for background activities, with transient foreground activities either bringing up the DMA, bringing up a fast clock, or bringing the device to RUN (in the case of an IRQ) for burst handling.
