POWER SAVING MODES (Cont’d)
5.2.4 SLOW Mode
This mode has two targets:
– To reduce power consumption by decreasing the
internal clock in the device,
– To adapt the internal clock frequency (fCPU) to
the available supply voltage.
SLOW mode is controlled by three bits in the
MISCR1 register: the SMS bit which enables or
disables Slow mode and two CPx bits which select
the internal slow frequency (fCPU).
In this mode, the oscillator frequency can be divid-
ed by 4, 8, 16 or 32 instead of 2 in normal operat-
ing mode. The CPU and peripherals are clocked at
this lower frequency.
Note: SLOW-WAIT mode is activated when enter-
ring the WAIT mode while the device is already in
SLOW mode.
