From Microchip Technology, Inc.
Reducing power consumption is always desirable in systems where resources may be limited. This is particularly true in USB systems, where designers must not only understand the rules imposed by the USB specification, but know when and how to use which of the available power-saving features.
This application note discusses ways to manage power on the members of the PIC18 family of microcontrollers with nanoWatt technology in USB applications. In this document, we will present a summary of the USB specification in regards to power management and distribution and to describe when and how to use power-saving features in response to different USB events. We will also discuss how the advanced power-saving features of enhanced PIC18 devices with nanoWatt technology can be used to meet these goals.
