CHAPTER 4: PERIPHERAL CIRCUITS AND OPERATION (Lower Current Dissipation)
4.11 Lower Current Dissipation
The E0C6006 contains a control register for each circuit block to realize lower current consumption. The
registers are programmed so as to operate each circuit with a minimum current. For reference in pro-
gramming, the following table summarizes the circuits that can be controlled for lower current consump-
tion and the in associated registers:

At initial setting with the CPU in operation mode, the CPU is ready with OSC3 clock (CLKCHG = "0", in
high-speed mode), the ceramic (CR) oscillation circuit is ON (OSCC = 1), the REM circuit is ON (REMC =
"1"), and the timer is OFF (TMRUN = "0").
It should be noted that various factors affecting current consumption. For example, a system in which a
resistor is connected to the V
ADJ
pin to control the LCD power (V
L1
) differ from a system in which the
V
ADJ
pin is shorted to V
L1
. Also, characteristics of the LCD panel used will produce a difference in power
consumption to the order of several micro-amperes.
