17.7.2 Operation in Idle Mode

When the device enters Idle mode, the CPU is no longer clocked; however, the PWM remains clocked and operational. If the PWM module is controlling a power conversion/motor control application, the action of putting the device into Idle mode will cause any control loops to be disabled, and most applications will likely experience issues unless they explicitly operate in an Open-Loop mode. It is recommended that the outputs be placed into a safe state before executing the PWRSAV instruction to enter Idle mode.
