10 REDUCED POWER MODES
There are two power saving modes, Idle and Power-down,
incorporated into the 10 page devices. There is an
additional Standby mode incorporated into the 1 page
devices. When utilizing any mode, power to the device
(V
saving is achieved by clock gating on a section by section
basis.
10.1
During Idle mode, Acquisition, Display and the CPU
sections of the device are disabled. The following
functions remain active:
To enter Idle mode the IDL bit in the PCON register must
be set. The Watchdog Timer must be disabled prior to
entering Idle to prevent the device being reset. Once in Idle
mode, the XTAL oscillator continues to run, but the internal
clock to the CPU, Acquisition and Display are gated out.
However, the clocks to the Memory interface, I
interface, Timer/Counters, Watchdog Timer and Pulse
Width Modulators are maintained. The CPU state is frozen
along with the status of all SFRs, internal RAM contents
are maintained, as are the device output pin values. Since
the output values on RGB and VDS are maintained the
display output must be disabled before entering this mode.
There are three methods available to recover from Idle:

Assertion of an enabled interrupt will cause the IDL bit to
be cleared by hardware, thus terminating Idle mode.
The interrupt is serviced, and following the instruction
RETI, the next instruction to be executed will be the one
after the instruction that put the device into Idle mode.
A second method of exiting Idle is via an interrupt
generated by the SAD DC Compare circuit. When the
device is configured in this mode, detection of an analog
threshold at the input to the SAD may be used to trigger
wake-up of the device i.e. TV Front Panel Key-press.
As above, the interrupt is serviced, and following the
instruction RETI, the next instruction to be executed will
be the one following the instruction that put the device
into Idle.

In Power-down mode the XTAL oscillator is stopped.
The contents of all SFRs and Data memory are
maintained, However, the contents of the Auxiliary/Display
memory are lost. The port pins maintain the values defined
by their associated SFRs. Since the output values on RGB
and VDS are maintained the display output must be made
inactive before entering Power-down mode.
The Power-down mode is activated by setting the PD bit in
the PCON register. It is advised to disable the Watchdog
Timer prior to entering Power-down.
There are three methods of exiting Power-down:
The third method of terminating Idle mode is with an
external hardware reset. Since the oscillator is running,
the hardware reset need only be active for two machine
cycles (24 clocks at 12 MHz) to complete the reset
operation. Reset defines all SFRs and Display memory
to a predefined state, but maintains all other RAM
values. Code execution commences with the Program
Counter set to ‘0000’.
An external interrupt provides the first mechanism for
waking from Power-down. Since the clock is stopped,
external interrupts need to be set level sensitive prior to
entering Power-down. The interrupt is serviced, and
following the instruction RETI, the next instruction to be
executed will be the one after the instruction that put the
device into Power-down mode.
A second method of exiting Power-down is via an
interrupt generated by the SAD DC Compare circuit.
When the device is configured in this mode, detection of
a certain analog threshold at the input to the SAD may
be used to trigger wake-up of the device i.e. TV Front
Panel Key-press. As above, the interrupt is serviced,
and following the instruction RETI, the next instruction to
be executed will be the one following the instruction that
put the device into Power-down.
The third method of terminating the Power-down mode
is with an external hardware reset. Reset defines all
SFRs and Display memory, but maintains all other RAM
values. Code execution commences with the Program
Counter set to ‘0000’.
