CHAPTER 15 STANDBY FUNCTIONS
15.1 OUTLINE OF STANDBY FUNCTION
The
µ
PD17120 subseries reduces current consumption by using a standby function. In standby mode, the series
uses STOP mode or HALT mode depending on the application.
STOP mode is a mode that stops the system clock. In this mode, the CPU's current consumption is mostly limited
to the leakage current. Therefore, this is useful for retaining the contents of the data memory without operating
the CPU.
HALT mode is a mode that halts CPU operation because the clock supplying the CPU is stopped even when the
system clock's oscillation continues. Although, compared with STOP mode, this mode does not reduce the current
consumption, operation can start immediately after HALT is canceled because the system clock is oscillating. Also,
in either the STOP mode or HALT mode, the status of items such as the data memory, registers, the output port's
output latch, etc. immediately before being set to standby mode are retained (STOP 0000B excluded).
Therefore, before placing the system in standby mode, please set the port's status in a way that the current
consumption of the whole system is reduced.
