30.8.4.7 Power Mode Definition and Power State Table

Figure 30-2. Operating Conditions and Sleepwalking
Note: In Standby mode, if SUPC -> VREGCTRL.LVSTDBY bit is one, then the regulators output voltage are reduced, and this mode is called LV Standby mode. In Standby mode, if SUPC -> VREGCTRL.LVHIB bit is one, then the regulators output voltage are reduced, and this mode is called LV Hibernate mode.

Here is a list of supported mode-to-mode transitions. This list provides a simplified overview of the possible transitions and may not be incomplete.

  • ACTIVE -> LV_ACTIVE -> ACTIVE (if CALSUPC.VREGOUTEN is set)
  • ACTIVE -> Standby (LV optional) -> ACTIVE
  • ACTIVE -> Hibernate (LV optional) -> ACTIVE
  • ACTIVE -> Backup -> ACTIVE
  • ACTIVE -> OFF -> ACTIVE

LV Active Reduced VddcoreACTIVEUser SW controlled for VREGCTRL voltage and clock frequency (Fuse enabled). Exit to full Run must wait for VREGS to stabilize before WAIT instruction. Maximum CPU frequency less then 8 MHz
StandbyEverything is clock gatedACTIVE, SleepwalkPeripheral clocks are on demand
LV Standby Reduced Vddcore Everything is clock gated BG in LP Duty Cycle modeACTIVE, SleepwalkLonger delay to exit to ACTIVE or Sleepwalk state
HibernateOnly Backup domain and SYS RAM poweredACTIVE
LV Hibernate Reduced Vddcore Only Backup domain and SYS RAM powered BG in LP Duty Cycle ModeACTIVE
Backup Only Backup domain is poweredACTIVE
OffOnly pads are poweredACTIVEOnly wake up is from RESET pin
