10 POWER SAVING MODES

10.1 INTRODUCTION

To give a large measure of flexibility to the applica-

tion in terms of power consumption, four main

power saving modes are implemented in the ST7

(see Figure 18): Slow, Wait (Slow Wait), Active

Halt and Halt.

After a RESET the normal operating mode is se-

lected by default (RUN mode). This mode drives

the device (CPU and embedded peripherals) by

means of a master clock which is based on the

main oscillator frequency divided by 2 (fCPU).

From RUN mode, the different power saving

modes may be selected by setting the relevant

register bits or by calling the specific ST7 software

instruction whose action depends on the oscillator

status.

10.2 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 entering

the Wait mode while the device is already in Slow

mode.
