Internal Voltage Reference
Watchdog Timer
Port Pins
On-chip Debug System
The Internal Voltage Reference will be enabled when needed by the Brown-out Detection, the
Analog Comparator or the ADC. If these modules are disabled as described in the sections
above, the internal voltage reference will be disabled and it will not be consuming power. When
turned on again, the user must allow the reference to start up before the output is used. If the
reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used immediately. Refer to
age Reference” on page 51
If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, the module should be turned off. If the
Watchdog Timer is enabled, it will be enabled in all sleep modes and hence always consume
power. In the deeper sleep modes, this will contribute significantly to the total current consump-
tion. Refer to
When entering a sleep mode, all port pins should be configured to use minimum power. The
most important is then to ensure that no pins drive resistive loads. In sleep modes where both

some cases, the input logic is needed for detecting wake-up conditions, and it will then be
enabled. Refer to the section
which pins are enabled. If the input buffer is enabled and the input signal is left floating or have

For analog input pins, the digital input buffer should be disabled at all times. An analog signal
level close to V
input buffers can be disabled by writing to the Digital Input Disable Registers (DIDR1 and
DIDR0). Refer to
Input Disable Register 0” on page 268
If the On-chip debug system is enabled by the DWEN Fuse and the chip enters sleep mode, the
main clock source is enabled and hence always consumes power. In the deeper sleep modes,
this will contribute significantly to the total current consumption.
