Introduction

Hello everyone, I am Chris, the field application engineer from Nuvoton Technology. Today I will introduce the power modes of the M251/M252 series microcontroller. The M251/M252 series has multiple power modes. The differentiation is based on power consumption, wake-up time, the operable CPU, and peripherals. In normal mode, the CPU is running normally. In Idle mode, only the CPU clock is disabled while other peripherals work as usual. Normal mode and idle mode can be divided into high-efficiency high-speed PL0 mode and low-power low-speed PL3 mode according to CPU operating speed. We should note that in the low-speed PL3 mode, only the clock source of the CPU and peripherals is 32.768 or 38.4 kHz can run. In power-down mode, there are three types according to power consumption. The first is NPD (Normal Power Down Mode). The CPU and high-speed peripherals stop running, and only the low-speed peripherals can work normally. The second is FWPD (Fast Wake Up Power Down Mode), which is the fastest wake-up of the three power-down modes but consumes more power. The third is DPD (Deep Power Down Mode), which consumes the lowest power among the three power-down modes, but the data in the RAM cannot be retained, and the wake-up speed is the slowest. Specific peripherals or pins can only activate the wake-up. For power consumption and wake-up time, we list the corresponding data. Users can choose the most suitable power mode according to the required power consumption and wake-up time. We need to note that FWPD mode will consume more power in the power-down mode because this mode wakes up the fastest. The DPD mode is the least power consumption, but the longest wake-up time.， Also, normal mode is a normal working mode, so there is no need to wake up. The time unit of the idle mode is different from the power-down mode, which is five cycles. The length of a cycle is determined according to the operating frequency used by the system. In the related resources section, we provide application notes for power management, which have more detailed operations and descriptions. If you want to know more, please download it from the URL in the video. There are also various power mode entry and wake-up methods in the BSP package; you can also refer to and use it. That’s all for the power modes introduction. Thank you for watching it. Please subscribe to our channel for more video resources.
