Deep-sleep mode
In Deep-sleep mode, the LPC81xM is in Sleep-mode and all peripheral clocks and all
clock sources are off except for the IRC and watchdog oscillator or low-power oscillator if
selected. The IRC output is disabled. In addition all analog blocks are shut down and the
flash is in stand-by mode. In Deep-sleep 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 Deep-sleep 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 Deep-sleep mode must be enabled in one of the
SYSCON wake-up enable registers and the NVIC.
Deep-sleep mode saves power and allows for short wake-up times.
8.21.6.4
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
