Description
All of the devices in the PIC18F46J13 family incorporate a range of features that can significantly reduce power consumption during operation. Key features are: Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller from the Timer1 source or the internal RC oscillator, power consumption during code execution can be reduced by as much as 90%. Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still active. In these states, power consumption can be reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal operational requirements. On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The power-managed modes are invoked by user code during operation, allowing the users to incorporate power-saving ideas into their application’s software design. Deep Sleep: The 2.5V internal core voltage regulator on F parts can be shutdown to cut power consumption to as low as 15 nA (typical). Certain features can remain operating during Deep Sleep, such as the Real-Time Clock Calendar. Ultra Low Power Wake-Up: Waking from Sleep or Deep Sleep modes after a period of time can be done without an oscillator/clock source, saving power for applications requiring periodic activity.
