POWER MANAGEMENT
All PSD devices offer configurable power saving
options. These options may be used individually or
in combinations, as follows:

56/95
All memory blocks in a PSD (primary and
secondary Flash memory, and SRAM) are built
with power management technology. In addition
to using special silicon design methodology,
power management technology puts the
memories into standby mode when address/
data inputs are not changing (zero DC current).
As soon as a transition occurs on an input, the
affected memory “wakes up”, changes and
latches its outputs, then goes back to standby.
The designer does not have to do anything
special to achieve memory standby mode when
no inputs are changing—it happens
automatically.
the pld sections can also achieve standby mode
when its inputs are not changing, as described
in the sections on the Power Management
Mode Registers (PMMR).
As with the Power Management mode, the
Automatic Power Down (APD) block allows the
PSD to reduce to standby current automatically.
The APD Unit can also block MCU address/data
signals from reaching the memories and PLDs.
This feature is available on all the devices of the
PSD family. The APD Unit is described in more
detail in the sections entitled “Automatic Power-
down (APD) Unit and Power-down Mode”, on
page 57.
Built in logic monitors the Address Strobe of the
MCU for activity. If there is no activity for a
certain time period (MCU is asleep), the APD
Unit initiates Power-down mode (if enabled).
Once in Power-down mode, all address/data
signals are blocked from reaching PSD memory
and PLDs, and the memories are deselected
■
■
internally. This allows the memory and PLDs to
remain in standby mode even if the address/
data signals are changing state externally
(noise, other devices on the MCU bus, etc.).
Keep in mind that any unblocked PLD input
signals that are changing states keeps the PLD
out of standby mode, but not the memories.
PSD Chip Select Input (CSI, PD2) can be used
to disable the internal memories, placing them
in standby mode even if inputs are changing.
This feature does not block any internal signals
or disable the PLDs. This is a good alternative
to using the APD Unit. There is a slight penalty
in memory access time when PSD Chip Select
Input (CSI, PD2) makes its initial transition from
deselected to selected.
The PMMRs can be written by the MCU at run-
time to manage power. All PSD supports
“blocking bits” in these registers that are set to
block designated signals from reaching both
PLDs. Current consumption of the PLDs is
directly related to the composite frequency of
the changes on their inputs (see Figure 31).
Significant power savings can be achieved by
blocking signals that are not used in DPLD or
CPLD logic equations.
PSD devices have a Turbo bit in PMMR0. This
bit can be set to turn the Turbo mode off (the
default is with Turbo mode turned on). While
Turbo mode is off, the PLDs can achieve
standby current when no PLD inputs are
changing (zero DC current). Even when inputs
do change, significant power can be saved at
lower frequencies (AC current), compared to
when Turbo mode is on. When the Turbo mode
is on, there is a significant DC current
component and the AC component is higher.
