3 Conclusion

Low-power applications are becoming increasingly important due to the growing demand for portable and battery-powered devices. These applications require less power consumption, which leads to longer battery life and reduced energy costs. It is essential to consider low-power design techniques and technologies when developing electronic devices to meet the market and environment needs.

These examples demonstrate the usage of various power-saving configurations available for the PIC18-Q71 MCUs. As shown in the application examples, some operations utilize more current in Active mode compared to when in Sleep mode. In PIC18-Q71 MCUs, Sleep mode provides the lowest MCU power consumption, as clock is disabled to CPU and all the other peripherals, except of the APM module, which keeps running.

In the third application example, the conclusion is that the current consumption will decrease by increasing the period of the APM.
