10.12 Register description
10.12.1 SMCR – Sleep Mode Control Register
The Sleep Mode Control Register contains control bits for power management.
• Bits 3, 2, 1 – SM2:0: Sleep Mode Select Bits 2, 1, and 0
These bits select between the five available sleep modes as shown in Table 10-2.
Note: 1. Standby modes are only recommended for use with external crystals or resonators.
• Bit 0 – SE: Sleep Enable
The SE bit must be written to logic one to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP instruction is
executed. To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the programmer’s purpose, it is recommended
to write the Sleep Enable (SE) bit to one just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction and to clear it
immediately after waking up.
