POWER-SAVING FEATURES

The dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 devices provide the

ability to manage power consumption by selectively

managing clocking to the CPU and the peripherals. In

general, a lower clock frequency and a reduction in the

number of circuits being clocked constitutes lower

consumed power. dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 devices

can manage power consumption in four different ways:

• Clock frequency

• Instruction-based Sleep and Idle modes

• Software-controlled Doze mode

• Selective peripheral control in software

Combinations of these methods can be used to selec-

tively tailor an application’s power consumption while

still maintaining critical application features, such as

timing-sensitive communications.

9.1

Clock Frequency and Clock

Switching

dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 devices allow a wide range

of clock frequencies to be selected under application

control. If the system clock configuration is not locked,

users can choose low-power or high-precision

oscillators by simply changing the NOSC bits

(OSCCON<10:8>). The process of changing a system

clock during operation, as well as limitations to the

process, are discussed in more detail in Section 8.0

“Oscillator Configuration”

9.2

Instruction-Based Power-Saving

Modes

dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 devices have two special

power-saving modes that are entered through the

execution of a special PWRSAV instruction. Sleep mode

stops clock operation and halts all code execution. Idle

mode halts the CPU and code execution, but allows

peripheral modules to continue operation. The

assembler syntax of the PWRSAV instruction is shown in

Example 9-1.

Sleep and Idle modes can be exited as a result of an

enabled interrupt, WDT time-out or a device Reset. When

the device exits these modes, it is said to wake-up.

9.2.1

SLEEP MODE

The following occur in Sleep mode:

• The system clock source is shut down. If an

on-chip oscillator is used, it is turned off.

• The device current consumption is reduced to a

minimum, provided that no I/O pin is sourcing

current

• The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor does not operate,

since the system clock source is disabled

• The LPRC clock continues to run in Sleep mode if

the WDT is enabled

• The WDT, if enabled, is automatically cleared

prior to entering Sleep mode

• Some device features or peripherals may continue

to operate. This includes items such as the input

change notification on the I/O ports, or peripherals

that use an external clock input.

• Any peripheral that requires the system clock

source for its operation is disabled

The device will wake-up from Sleep mode on any of the

these events:

• Any interrupt source that is individually enabled

• Any form of device Reset

• A WDT time-out

On wake-up from Sleep mode, the processor restarts

with the same clock source that was active when Sleep

mode was entered.

(DS70196) of the “dsPIC33F/PIC24H

Family Reference Manual”

, which is

available from the Microchip website

(www.microchip.com).

Some registers and associated bits

described in this section may not be

available on all devices. Refer to

Section 4.0 “Memory Organization”

this data sheet for device-specific register

and bit information.

Note:

SLEEP_MODE

and
