Introduction
Low-Power Applications
Static and dynamic power consumption lowered to a
minimum
Performance scaling allows consuming only when
required
Backup while entering sleep modes
Reduced number of external devices simplifies the
designs
In many low-power applications, operating from
1.8V to 3.6V, the MCU is in sleep mode for the
majority of the time, waking up periodically to an
event

 Short wake-up time to guarantee fast response
time to events

Reset Controller
Zero-power Power-On Reset allows Supply
Controller to start properly
 POR threshold voltage rising is 2.2V on VDDIO1
 POR threshold voltage falling is 1.8V on VDDIO1
Need a voltage battery higher than 2.2V at start up
NRSTB is an ASYNCHRONOUS Reset pin
 Active in all power modes
 Acts exactly as the zero-power power-on reset
 When asserted low, the supply controller is reset and the
system parts are powered off
ARM-Based Products Group
19
Brown Out Detector
Monitors VDDIO1
 Disabled by default (to be enabled by software)
Programmable threshold
 From 1.9V to 3.4V with 100mV steps
Generate either a Reset of the core or a wake-up of
the core power supply
“Switched” mode:
 Periodic checks of VDDIO1 reduce BOD current
consumption down to 2µA
- Every 32, 256 or 2048 SLCK periods

Clock Considerations
Saving Power with Clock Flexibility
Many designers equate low power to slow
clock frequencies
However depending on what the MCU is
doing and what low power mode are
available on the MCU, running at maximum
speed can actually save power
Need an MCU with flexible clocks!
ARM-Based Products Group
22
Clock Sources
Slow Clock – SLCK
 On-chip 32KHz RC oscillator (20KHz-44KHz)
 Xtal 32KHz oscillator featuring bypass mode
 Selection is made through XTALSEL bit in SUPC_CR
Main Clock – MAINCK
 On-chip 2MHz RC oscillator (1.35MHz-2.65MHz)
 External clock on CLKIN pin up to 32MHz
 Selection is made through MCKSEL bit in CKGR_MOR
PLL Clock – PLLCK
 Input frequency: SLCK
 Output frequency: 18 to 47MHz
 PLL fast startup to reach 70% of its target
frequency in less than 60µs

What about accuracy?
Both on-chip RC oscillators do not provide good
accuracy
 On-chip 32KHz RC oscillator (20KHz-44KHz)
 On-chip 2MHz RC oscillator (1.35MHz-2.65MHz)
For applications requiring better accuracy
 Xtal 32KHz oscillator or external 32KHz clock signal
 External clock signal on XIN
 Auto calibration by software using an external signal

AT91SAM7L
Supply Controller
Remove power from the chip?
MCU's are moving into smaller geometries to
reduce die size, which results in transistors that
cannot tolerate direct application of 3 or more volts.
So, voltage regulators are used to drop the voltage
to the internal logic
Unfortunately, these regulators add to the MCU's
current draw.
Removing power requires a more expensive toggle
switch to disable power-up to the chip
