Power management unit (PMU)
3.1.
Overview
The power consumption is regarded as one of the most important issues for the devices of
GD32F20x series. Power management unit (PMU) provides three types of power saving
modes, including Sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode and Standby mode. These modes reduce
the power consumption and allow the application to achieve the best tradeoff among the
conflicting demands of CPU operating time, speed and power consumption. For
GD32F20x
devices, there are three power domains, including V
DD
/V
DDA
domain, 1.2V domain, and
Backup domain, as is shown in the following figure. The power of the V
DD
domain is supplied
directly by V
DD
. An embedded LDO in the V
DD
/V
DDA
domain is used to supply the 1.2V domain
power. A power switch is implemented for the Backup domain. It can be powered from the
V
BAT
voltage when the main V
DD
supply is shut down.
3.2.
Characteristics
Three power domains: V
BAK
domain, V
DD
/V
DDA
domain
and 1.2V power domain.
Three power saving modes: Sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode and Standby mode.
Internal Voltage regulator(LDO) supplies around 1.2V voltage source for 1.2V domain.
Low Voltage Detector can issue an interrupt or event when the power is lower than a
programmed threshold.
Battery power (V
BAT
) for Backup domain when V
DD
is shut down.
Select LDO output voltage to save energy consumption.

Function overview
Figure 3-1. Power supply overview
provides details on the internal configuration of the PMU
and the relevant power domains.
