    The module handles its own power management and goes into Standby mode automatically when there are no outstanding commands. However, even in Standby mode, the IM11 immediately responds to host activity, eliminating any potential host timeout conditions. To achieve an even lower power Standby mode, the host needs to support USB suspend and remote wakeup.
