4.4 Power Save Modes

The WINC firmware supports multiple Power Save modes which provide flexibility to the host MCU application to tweak the system power consumption. The host MCU can configure the WINC Power Saving policy using the m2m_wifi_set_sleep_mode and m2m_wifi_set_lsn_int APIs.

The WINC supports the following Power Save modes:

  • M2M_PS_MANUAL
  • M2M_PS_DEEP_AUTOMATIC
  • M2M_PS_AUTOMATIC (deprecated, not be used in new implementations)
  • M2M_PS_H_AUTOMATIC (deprecated, not be used in new implementations)
Note: M2M_PS_DEEP_AUTOMATIC mode recommended for most applications.
