SC024_low_Power_Mode parameter (Power_PwrDown)
« on: April 09, 2025, 06:12:48 PM »
Hello guys,

Please could you tell me the utility of Low Power Mode paramter (Power_PwrDown).
When can I use it? And what it's effect?

I looked for this parameter in documentation and on the Internet but without result.

I tested using this parameter to True,  the controller turned off.  But why in OS output comment they tell us the controller will enter in Low power mode?

What mean low power mode?

Thanks in advance for your help.

With best regards
Mac bahi

Hello,

It can be used in applications where current draw is sensitive, for example an application where the controller is powered all the time by battery for various reasons but needs to not flatten the battery when it's tasks are completed.  Once activated it required an interrupt input to wake it back up again. On a SC050 I used pin 19 as my ignition input to wake it back up.
