ADVANCE INFORMATION
MSPM33C3x MCUs provide five main operating modes (power modes) to allow for optimization of the device power consumption based on application requirements. In order of decreasing power, the modes are: RUN, SLEEP, STOP, STANDBY, and SHUTDOWN. The CPU is active executing code when in RUN mode. Peripheral interrupt events can wake the device from SLEEP, STOP, or STANDBY mode to the RUN mode. SHUTDOWN mode completely disables the internal core regulator to minimize power consumption, and wake is only possible via NRST, SWD interface, a logic level match on certain IOs, or an interrupt from the low frequency sub system (LFSS).
To further balance performance and power consumption, MSPM33C3x devices implement three power domains: PD1, PD0, VBAT. PD1 contains the CPU, memories, and high performance peripherals. PD1 contains is always powered in RUN and SLEEP modes, but is disabled in all other modes. PD0 contains low speed, low power peripherals which are always powered in RUN, SLEEP, STOP, and STANDBY modes. PD1 and PD0 are both disabled in SHUTDOWN mode. VBAT can be powered(1) by a separate power source other than Vdd or can be externally connected to Vdd. VBAT power domain contains the low frequency sub system and is always active when power is applied.
