Power-down mode
In Power-down mode, the LPC81xM is in Sleep-mode and all peripheral clocks and all
clock sources are off except for watchdog oscillator or low-power oscillator if selected. In
addition all analog blocks and the flash are shut down. In Power-down mode, the
application can keep the watchdog oscillator and the BOD circuit running for self-timed
wake-up and BOD protection.
The LPC81xM can wake up from Power-down mode via a reset, digital pins selected as
inputs to the pin interrupt block, a watchdog timer interrupt, or an interrupt from the
USART (if the USART is configured in synchronous slave mode), the SPI, or the I2C
blocks (in slave mode).
Any interrupt used for waking up from Power-down mode must be enabled in one of the
SYSCON wake-up enable registers and the NVIC.
Power-down mode reduces power consumption compared to Deep-sleep mode at the
expense of longer wake-up times.
8.21.6.5
Deep power-down mode
In Deep power-down mode, power is shut off to the entire chip except for the WAKEUP
pin and the self wake-up timer if enabled. Four general-purpose registers are available to
store information during Deep power-down mode. The LPC81xM can wake up from Deep
power-down mode via the WAKEUP pin, or without an external signal by using the
time-out of the self wake-up timer (see Section 8.18).
The LPC81xM can be prevented from entering Deep power-down mode by setting a lock
bit in the PMU block. Locking out Deep power-down mode enables the application to keep
the watchdog timer or the BOD running at all times.
When entering Deep power-down mode, an external pull-up resistor is required on the
WAKEUP pin to hold it HIGH. Pull the RESET pin HIGH to prevent it from floating while in
Deep power-down mode.
