Power and clock management is flexible to facilitate low-power applications. The following sections describe details of the clock and power controls.
The features in this chapter are embedded and optimized in TI's Power Manager. Please see the SDK documentation for more details.
Figure 6-1 shows the hierarchy of power-saving features. Low power consumption and cycling time for a power-saving mode have an inverse relationship. The power-saving mode with the lowest power consumption requires the longest time from initiation to power-saving mode, as well as wake-up time back to active mode. Table 6-1 summarizes the power-saving features.
Power-Saving Feature | Description |
---|---|
Clock gating | Immediate response—no latency. This feature offers the least amount of power saved. |
Power domain off (overrides clock gating) | Power cycling down and up takes longer time than clock gating. Modules in power domains without retention must be reinitialized before functionality can be resumed. |
Voltage regulator off | Power cycling down and up takes longer time than power domain cycling. The device loses all configurations and boots at wake-up. This feature offers the least possible current consumption. |
Table 6-2 lists the four defined power modes for the power-saving features in TI's Power Manager listed in Table 6-1. Section 6.4 discusses the power modes in detail.
Power Mode | Description |
---|---|
Active mode | The system CPU is running. System infrastructure components such as system SRAM memory and system NVM memory are also running. Other MCU IP clocks are SW-controlled through CLKCTL. |
Idle mode | The system CPU clock is gated. Other MCU IP clocks are SW-controlled through CLKCTL. System Infrastructure components (Flash, ROM, SRAM, bus) clocks are dependent on MCU status. |
Standby mode | MCU power domain is powered off, and the VDDD voltage domain is supplied by the micro LDO. |
Shutdown mode | Only I/Os maintain their state. All voltage regulators, voltage domains, and power domains are off. |
