12.3 IDLE MODE

In idle mode, the device’s power consumption decreases to approximately 40% of normal con- sumption. Internal logic holds the CPU clocks at logic zero, causing the CPU to stop executing instructions. Neither the phased-locked loop circuitry (80C196NU only), the peripheral clocks, nor CLKOUT are affected, so the special-function registers (SFRs) and register RAM retain their data and the peripherals and interrupt system remain active. Table B-5 on page B-13 lists the val- ues of the pins during idle mode.
