7. Power Management and Sleep Modes

The high performance and industry leading code efficiency makes the AVR microcontrollers an

ideal choise for low power applications. In addition, sleep modes enable the application to shut

down unused modules in the MCU, thereby saving power. The AVR provides various sleep

modes allowing the user to tailor the power consumption to the application’s requirements.

7.1

Sleep Modes

Figure 6-1 on page 23 presents the different clock systems in the ATtiny13A, and their distribu-

tion. The figure is helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 7-1 shows the different

sleep modes and their wake up sources.

Note:

1. For INT0, only level interrupt.

To enter any of the three sleep modes, the SE bit in MCUCR must be written to logic one and a

SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM1..0 bits in the MCUCR Register select which

sleep mode (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, or Power-down) will be activated by the SLEEP instruc-

tion. See Table 7-2 on page 34 for a summary.

If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU

is then halted for four cycles in addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and

resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP. The contents of the Register File and

SRAM are unaltered when the device wakes up from sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep mode,

the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.

Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down mode, the changed

level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU. Refer to “External Interrupts” on page 46

for details.

7.1.1

Idle Mode

When the SM[1:0] bits are written to 00, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Idle mode,

stopping the CPU but allowing Analog Comparator, ADC, Timer/Counter, Watchdog, and the

interrupt system to continue operating. This sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkFLASH, while

allowing the other clocks to run.

Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal

ones like the Timer Overflow. If wake-up from the Analog Comparator interrupt is not required,

the Analog Comparator can be powered down by setting the ACD bit in the Analog Comparator

Table 7-1.
