New! Power-saving with C8051F310
Hi.
Which is the most power-saving-mode for the C8051F310 uC?
Until now i throttle the oscillator down to SYSCTL/8(~3MHz) and switch the CPU to IDLE-Mode. But the datasheet explains, that it already takes about 155 uA in IDLE-mode at 1MHz. Thats still too much for my application.
I dont have space left for an external oscillator on my board, so switching to a lower frequency isn't possible.
It shall go in sleep-mode and wait until an external interrupt occurs. Then it computes a little and goes to sleep again, until the next external interrupt occurs or the command of waking up arrives.
It should not take more than 10-15uA in sleep-mode.
Is this possible with this device?

Many thanks in advance.

This is purely a hardware device-specific question: you need to speak to the manufacturer (Si Labs; nee Cygnal) about this.

It is nothing to do with Keil Software tools - hence off-topic here!

Try the Si Labs forum instead.

Oh, i appologize for disregarding
"http://www.keil.com/forum/" and posting [OT] in the wrong forum.
I'll put my question in the silabs-forum.

Thanks

A device-specific forum is generally the best place to get answers to a device-specifc question! ;-)

WOW, that is probably the most important post this year. Who has kept this a secret for so long?
