10. Power Management and Sleep Modes
10.1 Overview
Sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU, thereby saving
power. The AVR provides various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the power consump-
tion to the application’s requirements.
10.2 Sleep Modes
Figure 9-1 on page 27 presents the different clock systems in the ATmega16M1/32M1/64M1,
and their distribution. The figure is helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode. Table 10-1
shows the different sleep modes and their wake-up sources.
Notes: 1. Only recommended with external crystal or resonator selected as clock source.
2. Only level interrupt.
To enter any of the five sleep modes, the SE bit in SMCR must be written to logic one and a
SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM2, SM1, and SM0 bits in the SMCR Register select
which sleep mode (Idle, ADC Noise Reduction, Power-down, Power-save, or Standby) will be
activated by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 10-2 for a summary.
If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU
is then halted for four cycles in addition to the start-up time, executes the interrupt routine, and
resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP. The contents of the register file and
SRAM are unaltered when the device wakes up from sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep mode,
the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.
10.3 Idle Mode
When the SM2:0 bits are written to 000, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter Idle mode,
stopping the CPU but allowing SPI, UART, Analog Comparator, ADC, Timer/Counters, Watch-
dog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This sleep mode basically halt clk
CPU
and

FLASH
, while allowing the other clocks to run.
Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal
ones like the Timer Overflow and UART Transmit Complete interrupts. If wake-up from the Ana-
log Comparator interrupt is not required, the Analog Comparator can be powered down by
Table 10-1. Active Clock Domains and Wake-up Sources in the Different Sleep Modes.
