20.5.4.2 Wake-Up Time

As shown in the figure below, total wake-up time depends on:

  • Latency due to Power Domain Gating:

    Usually, wake-up time is measured with the assumption that the power domains are already in active state. When using Power Domain Gating, changing a power domain from OFF to active state will take a certain time, refer to Electrical Characteristics. If all power domains were already in active state in standby sleep mode, this latency is zero.

  • Latency due to Regulator effect:

    As example, if the device is in standby sleep mode using the main voltage regulator (MAINVREG) in low power mode, the voltage level is lower than the one used in active mode. When the device wakes up, it takes a certain amount of time for the main regulator to transition to the voltage level corresponding to Active mode, causing additional wake-up time.

  • Latency due to the CPU clock source wake-up time.
  • Latency due to the NVM memory access.
    Note: NVM and MAINVREG latencies can be reduced by setting the Fast Wake-Up bits in the Standby Configuration register (STDBYCFG.FASTWKUP).
