30.5.2 Power Management

The EVSYS can be used to wake up the CPU from the Idle and Standby Sleep modes, even if the clock used by the EVSYS channel and the EVSYS bus clock are disabled. See Power Management Unit (PMU) from Related Links for details on the different sleep modes.

In sleep modes, although the clock for the EVSYS is stopped, the device still can wake up the EVSYS clock. Some event generators can generate an event when their clocks are stopped. The generic clock for the channel (GCLK_EVSYS_CH_n) is restarted, if that channel uses a synchronized path or a resynchronized path. It does not need to wake the system from sleep.
