1.7 Sleep Mode

In the Sleep mode of the PL360, the core of the device and the peripherals are reset reducing power consumption. In this mode, RAM memory is still alive and the content of the memory is maintained, so program reloading is not required when the PL360 returns to normal operating mode and wake-up time is reduced considerably.

The mean power consumption of the PL360 device in Sleep mode is 0.7 mA / 2.3 mW.

The wake-up time is optimized and reduced to 4 ms. Note that the wake-up time only takes into account the time for powering up the hardware and the initialization of the PL360 firmware. If any parameter (such as coupling parameters) is required to be configured, the time of configuration of the PL360 must be added.

In order to handle Sleep mode from the host, the NRST and TST pins of the PL360 device must be connected to the host controller.
