Power Reduction Register

The Power Reduction Register, PRR, provides a method to stop the clock to individual peripher-

als to reduce power consumption. The current state of the peripheral is frozen and the I/O

registers can not be read or written. Resources used by the peripheral when stopping the clock

will remain occupied, hence the peripheral should in most cases be disabled before stopping the

clock. Waking up a module, which is done by clearing the bit in PRR, puts the module in the

same state as before shutdown.

Module shutdown can be used in Idle mode and Active mode to significantly reduce the overall

power consumption. See ”Supply Current of IO modules” on page 329 for examples. In all other

sleep modes, the clock is already stopped.

PRR – Power Reduction Register

• Bit 7 - PRTWI: Power Reduction TWI

Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the TWI by stopping the clock to the module. When

waking up the TWI again, the TWI should be re initialized to ensure proper operation.

• Bit 6 - PRTIM2: Power Reduction Timer/Counter2

Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter2 module in synchronous mode (AS2

is 0). When the Timer/Counter2 is enabled, operation will continue like before the shutdown.

• Bit 5 - PRTIM0: Power Reduction Timer/Counter0

Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter0 module. When the Timer/Counter0

is enabled, operation will continue like before the shutdown.

• Bit 4 - Res: Reserved bit

Reserved for future use and will always read as zero.

• Bit 3 - PRTIM1: Power Reduction Timer/Counter1

Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Timer/Counter1 module. When the Timer/Counter1

is enabled, operation will continue like before the shutdown.

• Bit 2 - PRSPI: Power Reduction Serial Peripheral Interface

Writing a logic one to this bit shuts down the Serial Peripheral Interface by stopping the clock to

the module. When waking up the SPI again, the SPI should be re initialized to ensure proper

operation.
