enable or disable servicing of the interrupts (including power down), regardless of the state of IMASK.
Disabling the interrupts does not affect serial port autobuffering or DMA.
ENA INTS;
DIS INTS;
When the processor is reset, interrupt servicing is enabled.
LOW POWER OPERATION
The ADSP-2188M has three low power modes that significantly reduce the power dissipation when the
device operates under standby conditions. These modes are:
• Power Down
• Idle
• Slow Idle
The CLKOUT pin may also be disabled to reduce external power dissipation.
Power Down
The ADSP-2188M processor has a low power feature that lets the processor enter a very low power
dormant state through hardware or software control. Here is a brief list of power-down features. Refer
to the ADSP-2100 Family User’s Manual, “System Interface” chapter, for detailed information about
the power-down feature.
• Quick recovery from power down. The processor begins executing instructions in as few as 200
CLKIN cycles.
• Support for an externally generated TTL or CMOS processor clock. The external clock can contin-
ue running during power down without affecting the lowest power rating and 200 CLKIN cycle
recovery.
• Support for crystal operation includes disabling the oscillator to save power (the processor automat-
ically waits approximately 4096 CLKIN cycles for the crystal oscillator to start or stabilize), and let-
ting the oscillator run to allow 200 CLKIN cycle start up.
• Power down is initiated by either the power down pin (PWD) or the software power-down force
bit.Interrupt support allows an unlimited number of instructions to be executed before optionally
powering down. The power down interrupt also can be used as a non-maskable, edge sensitive in-
terrupt.
• Context clear/save control allows the processor to continue where it left off or start with a clean
context when leaving the power down state.
• The RESET pin also can be used to terminate power down.
• Power down acknowledge pin indicates when the processor has entered power down.
Idle
When the ADSP-2188M is in the Idle Mode, the processor waits indefinitely in a low power state until
an interrupt occurs. When an unmasked interrupt occurs, it is serviced; execution then continues with
the instruction following the IDLE instruction. In Idle mode IDMA, BDMA and autobuffer cycle
steals still occur.
