Suggestions to reduce power consumption.
Ports
The processor retains the state of each I/O port even when it goes to wait mode or to stop mode.
A current flows in active I/O ports. A pass current flows in input ports that high-impedance state.
When entering wait mode or stop mode, set non-used ports to input and stabilize the potential.
A/D converter
When A/D conversion is not performed, set the VCUT bit in the ADCON1 register to “0” (VREF not
connection). When A/D conversion is performed, start the A/D conversion at least 1 µs or longer after
setting the VCUT bit to “1” (VREF connection).
D/A converter
When not performing D/A conversion, set the DAiE bit (i = 0, 1) in the DACON register to “0” (input
disabled) and DAi register to “00h”.
Switching the oscillation-driving capacity
Set the driving capacity to “LOW” when oscillation is stable.
