SPC560D Power consumption

Hi Community

I have some issues/questions about the power consumption of the SPC560D40L1 CPU. I found this document on the ST-Website

http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical/document/application_note/CD00291326.pdf

There the STANDBY mode is described with max. 300µA and min with 21µA.

Is it possible to reach the 21µA power consumption, without an external Oscillator, because I cannot find any register to enable the 128khz oscillator as system clock during STANDBY mode? I mean if I disable the FIRC the CPU has no clock anymore?

Kind regards

Philipp

Posted on April 19, 2016 at 09:28Hello Philipp ,Sorry for the late answer ,there are 2 registers :SIRC_CTL with bit SIRCON_STDBY to disable SIRC in STANDBY MODESIRCON_STDBY SIRC control in STANDBY mode.0 SIRC is switched off in STANDBY mode.1 SIRC is switched on in STANDBY mode.FIRC_CTL with bit FIRCON_STDBY to disable FIRC FIRCON_STDBYFIRC control in STANDBY mode.0 FIRC is switched off in STANDBY mode.1 FIRC is in STANDBY mode.There is no clock anymore ..you need to use a WAKEUP Interrupt to go out from STANDBY mode.       Best regards             Erwan
