zp: Zero Power Functions

 Top  Previous  Next

Zero Power mode is an ultra low power saving mode that uses so little power that it can effectively be ignored and considered zero power consumption.

By using Zero Power mode, it is possible to extend operating time on batteries so that several years of operation can be achieved.

 

When operating in Zero Power mode, the device powers down and by a selected event wakes up by restarting the device.

 

 

The following functions are used to control the Zero Power mode:

zpPowerDown

The device enters Zero Power mode and waits for an event.

zpBootEvent

This queries which event that booted the device.

 

 

Zero Power mode is only supported on the RTCU SX1 series. Please consult the technical manual for further information about the configuration and use.
