2 SleepWalking Implementation

Battery-powered and energy-conscious embedded applications require power management strategies that minimize current consumption while maintaining system responsiveness. To demonstrate the power consumption optimizations achieved by SleepWalking compared to traditional power-saving strategies, this document evaluates the following implementation approaches:

• Active mode implementation
• Standby mode with interrupt-based implementation
• Event-driven SleepWalking implementation

Understanding the trade-offs between these strategies enables designers to select the optimal approach for their application’s requirements.
