PSoC™ 4 MCU low-power modes and power reduction techniques

Introduction

1 Introduction
PSoC™ 4 MCU low-power modes allow a reduction in overall power consumption while retaining essential
functionality, especially when implemented with other power-saving features and techniques. This application
note describes the device low-power modes, provides information on active mode power-saving methods, and
discusses other low-power considerations.
The document assumes that you are familiar with developing applications using the ModusToolbox™ software
environment or PSoC™ Creator. If you are new to PSoC™ 4 MCU, you can find an introduction in
