7.5 Performance Level Overview

The PIC32CM LE00/LS00/LS60 support two different performance levels: PL0 and PL2.

The default performance level after reset is PL0. This performance level is aiming for the lowest power consumption by limiting logic speeds and CPU frequency. As a consequence, some peripherals and clock sources will work with limited capabilities.

Full device functionality and performance will be ensured with PL2 mode.

Maximum CPU frequency regarding PL0 and PL2 performance level modes can be found in the General Operating Ratings and Thermal Conditions section from the Electrical Characteristics chapter.
