wake-up time, makes it attractive to remain in low energy modes for long periods and thus saving energy
consumption.
Tip
Throughout this document, the first figure in every module description contains an Energy Mode
Indicator showing which energy mode(s) the module can operate (see Table 3.1 (p. 8) ).

EM0 – Energy Mode 0
(Run mode)
In EM0, the CPU is running and consuming as little as 219 µA/MHz, when
running code from flash. All peripherals can be active.

EM1 – Energy Mode 1
(Sleep Mode)
In EM1, the CPU is sleeping and the power consumption is only 80 µA/MHz.
All peripherals, including DMA, PRS and memory system, are still available.

EM2 – Energy Mode 2
(Deep Sleep Mode)
In EM2 the high frequency oscillator is turned off, but with the 32.768 kHz
oscillator running, selected low energy peripherals (LCD, RTC, LETIMER,
PCNT, LEUART, I
2
C, LESENSE, OPAMP, USB, WDOG and ACMP) are still
available. This gives a high degree of autonomous operation with a current
consumption as low as 1.1 µA with RTC enabled. Power-on Reset, Brown-out
Detection and full RAM and CPU retention is also included.

EM3 - Energy Mode 3
(Stop Mode)
In EM3, the low-frequency oscillator is disabled, but there is still full CPU
and RAM retention, as well as Power-on Reset, Pin reset, EM4 wake-up
and Brown-out Detection, with a consumption of only 0.8 µA. The low-power
ACMP, asynchronous external interrupt, PCNT, and I
2
C can wake-up the
device. Even in this mode, the wake-up time is a few microseconds.

EM4 – Energy Mode 4
(Shutoff Mode)
In EM4, the current is down to 20 nA and all chip functionality is turned off
except the pin reset, GPIO pin wake-up, GPIO pin retention, Backup RTC
(including retention RAM) and the Power-On Reset. All pins are put into their
reset state.
