■ REASON #4: EFFICIENT
Extensive Power Management
• Independent clock signal selection for CPU
and peripherals provides great flexibility
for performance and power management
• Low-voltage operation down to 2.2V
reduces current consumption while
maintaining a high level of performance
• Peripherals such as the ADC can be
physically disconnected from the
power path for lowest power drain
Load Capacitance
Reduction By Optimized
Bi-directional Bus
Load capacitance is distributed by
using separate buses, thereby reducing
the power loss caused by charging and discharging.
In addition, the reduced load capacitance allows increases in
bus operating speeds.
The M16C is ideal for
portable devices because
it has multiple clock
sources and multiple
power-saving modes.
Multiple Clock Sour
ces:
• Main clock oscillator
• Sub-clock oscillator
• On-chip oscillators
• External clock

Multiple Clock Sources and Multiple Power-Saving Modes
Multiple Power-saving Modes:
• Main clock can be slowed down
• Processor can be put to sleep
• Processor and/or peripherals can
be driven by 32kHz sub-clock
• Peripherals can be individually
powered down
• All clocks can be turned off for
the lowest possible power draw
