15.11.1 Sleep Mode Control Register

The Sleep Mode Control Register contains control bits for power management.

When addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, the provided offset must be used. When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the offset is reduced by 0x20, resulting in an I/O address offset within 0x00 - 0x3F.

Name: SMCR
Offset: 0x53
Reset: 0x00
Property: When addressing as I/O Register: address offset is 0x33

Bits 3:1 – SM[2:0] Sleep Mode Select

The SM[2:0] bits select between the five available sleep modes.

Bit 0 – SE Sleep Enable

The SE bit must be written to logic one to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP instruction is executed. To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the programmer’s purpose, it is recommended to write the Sleep Enable (SE) bit to one just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction and to clear it immediately after waking up.
