35.6.7.11 Sleep Mode Operation

The behavior in Sleep mode is depending on the clock source and the Run Standby bit in the CTRLA.RUNSTDBY register:

Internal, GCLK_SERCOMx_CORE1Any InterruptAny interrupt can wake-up the device
External, XCK SERCOM PAD[1,3]INTFLAG RXCThe Receive Complete interrupt(s) can wake-up the device
Internal, GCLK_SERCOMx_CORE0INTFLAG RXCInternal clock will be disabled, after any ongoing transfer is completed. The Receive Complete interrupt(s) can wake-up the device.
External, XCK SERCOM PAD[1,3]NoneExternal clock will be disconnected after any ongoing transfer is completed then all reception will be stopped.
Important: As described in the Start of Frame Detection section, it is recommended the user select a fast start-up internal RC oscillator for the GCLK_SERCOMn_CORE clock for fast wake from sleep mode if desired, otherwise the frame data from the initial Start-of-Frame detection event may get corrupted and any succeeding frames until the oscillator clock has started up and stable due to baud rate mismatch issues.
