MSP432P401M (continued)
Power Mode
Operating State
Features and Application Constraints
LPM3
(Deep Sleep)
LDO_VCORE0
LDO based operating modes at core voltage level 0 or 1.
CPU is inactive and peripheral functionality is reduced.
RTC and WDT modules can be functional with maximum input clock frequency
of 32.768 kHz.
Most peripherals can operate out of internal/external clock sources up to a
maximum frequency of 128 kHz. These peripherals are grouped into different
peripheral groups. See device specific data sheet for details on peripheral
groups and peripherals available in LPM3.
All other peripherals are and retention enabled SRAM banks and blocks are
kept under state retention power gating.
LDO_VCORE1
Flash memory is disabled. SRAM banks and blocks not configured for retention
are disabled.
Internal low-frequency clock sources (LFXT, REFO, and VLO) or external low-
frequency clock sources (max 128 kHz) can be active.
All high-frequency clock sources are disabled.
When no peripherals are active device I/O pin states are latched and retained.
DC/DC regulator cannot be used.
LPM4
(Deep Sleep)
LDO_VCORE0
LDO based operating modes at core voltage level 0 or 1.
Achieved by entering LPM3 without any clocked peripherals being active.
Analog modules not requiring a clock can remain operational in this mode.
CPU is inactive with no peripheral functionality.
All other peripherals and retention enabled SRAM banks and blocks are kept
under state retention power gating.
LDO_VCORE1
Flash memory is disabled. SRAM banks and blocks not configured for retention
are disabled.
All low- and high-frequency clock sources are disabled.
When no peripherals are active device I/O pin states are latched and retained.
DC/DC regulator cannot be used.
LPM3.5
(Stop or Shut Down)
LDO_VCORE0
LDO based operating mode at core voltage level 0.
Only RTC and WDT modules can be functional with maximum input clock
frequency of 32.768 kHz.
CPU and all other peripherals are powered down.
Depending on SRAM organization, Bank 0 or Block 0 of SRAM is under data
retention. All other SRAM banks and flash memory are powered down.
Only low-frequency clock sources (LFXT, REFO, and VLO) can be active.
All high-frequency clock sources are disabled.
Device I/O pin states are latched and retained.
DC/DC regulator cannot be used.
LPM4.5
(Stop or Shut Down)
VCORE_OFF
Core voltage is turned off.
CPU, flash memory, all SRAM banks, and all peripherals are powered down.
All low- and high-frequency clock sources are powered down.
Device I/O pin states are latched and retained.

Power Mode Transitions
Several power mode transitions are possible under application control, allowing for optimal power
performance tradeoffs for a wide variety of usage profiles. The high level representation of different power
mode transitions is given in
and the detailed description of all supported power mode
transitions is covered in the subsequent sections.
