21.7.2 Idle Mode

When the device enters Idle mode, the QEISIDL bit in the QEIx Control register (QEIxCON[13]) determines whether the QEI module stops in Idle mode or continues to operate in Idle mode.

If QEISIDL = 1, the QEI module enters into a Power-Saving mode and performs the same functions as in Sleep mode. If QEISIDL = 0, the module does not enter into a Power-Saving mode and continues operation in Idle mode.
