This is preliminary information on a new product now in development or undergoing evaluation. Details are subject to change without notice.
Automatic Power-down (APD) Unit and Power-down Mode
The APD Unit, shown in Figure 32, puts the PSD
into Power-down mode by monitoring the activity
of Address Strobe (ALE/AS, PD0). If the APD Unit
is enabled, as soon as activity on Address Strobe
(ALE/AS, PD0) stops, a four bit counter starts
counting. If Address Strobe (ALE/AS, PD0) re-
mains inactive for fifteen clock periods of CLKIN
(PD1), Power-down (PDN) goes High, and the
PSD enters Power-down mode, as discussed
next.
Power-down Mode
By default, if you enable the APD Unit, Power-
down mode is automatically enabled. The device
enters Power-down mode if Address Strobe (ALE/
AS, PD0) remains inactive for fifteen periods of
CLKIN (PD1).
The following should be kept in mind when the
PSD is in Power-down mode:
I
If Address Strobe (ALE/AS, PD0) starts pulsing
again, the PSD returns to normal operation. The
PSD also returns to normal operation if either
PSD Chip Select Input (CSI, PD2) is Low or the
Reset (RESET) input is High.
I
The MCU address/data bus is blocked from all
memory and PLDs.
I
Various signals can be blocked (prior to Power-
down mode) from entering the PLDs by setting
the appropriate bits in the Power Management
Mode Registers (PMMR). The blocked signals
include MCU control signals and the common
CLKIN (PD1). Note that blocking CLKIN (PD1)
from the PLDs does not block CLKIN (PD1)
from the APD Unit.
I
All PSD memories enter Standby Mode and are
drawing standby current. However, the PLDs
and I/O ports blocks do not go into Standby
Mode because you do not want to have to wait
for the logic and I/O to “wake-up” before their
outputs can change. See Table 49, page 71 for
Power-down mode effects on PSD ports.
I
Typical Standby current is or the order of μA.
This standby current value assumes that there
are no transitions on any PLD input.

Table 49. PSD Timing and Standby Current During Power-down Mode
Note: 1. Power-down does not affect the operation of the PLD. The PLD operation in this mode is based only on the Turbo bit.
2. Typical current consumption assuming no PLD inputs are changing state and the PLD Turbo bit is 0.
