4.8.7 Power Mode Control register (PCON - 0x400F C0C0)
Controls for some reduced power modes and other power related controls are contained 
in the PCON register, as described in Table 44
.
 
[1] BOD reset (BORD- bit 4 in PCON register) and BOD interrupt needs to be disabled before a user disables 
or enables the power to BOD (BOGD - bit 3 in PCON register).
[2] Only one of these flags will be valid at a specific time.
[3] Hardware reset only for a power-up of core power or by a brownout detect event.
[4] Hardware reset only for a power-up event on Vbat.
Table 44. Power Mode Control register (PCON - address 0x400F C0C0) bit description
Bit Symbol Description Reset 
value
0 PM0 Power mode control bit 0. This bit controls entry to the Power-down 
mode. See Section 4.8.7.1
 below for details.
0
1 PM1 Power mode control bit 1. This bit controls entry to the Deep 
Power-down mode. See Section 4.8.7.1
 below for details.
0
2 BODRPM Brown-Out Reduced Power Mode. When BODRPM is 1, the 
Brown-Out Detect circuitry will be turned off when chip Power-down 
mode or Deep Sleep mode is entered, resulting in a further reduction 
in power usage. However, the possibility of using Brown-Out Detect as 
a wake-up source from the reduced power mode will be lost.
When 0, the Brown-Out Detect function remains active during 
Power-down and Deep Sleep modes.
See the System Control Block chapter for details of Brown-Out 
detection.
0
3BOGD
[1]
Brown-Out Global Disable. When BOGD is 1, the Brown-Out Detect 
circuitry is fully disabled at all times, and does not consume power.
When 0, the Brown-Out Detect circuitry is enabled.
See the System Control Block chapter for details of Brown-Out 
detection.
Note: the Brown-Out Reset Disable (BORD, in this register) and the 
Brown-Out Interrupt (xx) must be disabled when software changes the 
value of this bit.
0
4 BORD Brown-Out Reset Disable. When BORD is 1, the BOD will not reset 
the device when the V
DD(REG)(3V3)
 voltage dips goes below the BOD 
reset trip level. The Brown-Out interrupt is not affected.
When BORD is 0, the BOD reset is enabled.
See the Section 3.5
 for details of Brown-Out detection.

7:3 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The 
value read from a reserved bit is not defined.
NA
8 SMFLAG Sleep Mode entry flag. Set when the Sleep mode is successfully 
entered. Cleared by software writing a one to this bit.
0

9 DSFLAG Deep Sleep entry flag. Set when the Deep Sleep mode is successfully 
entered. Cleared by software writing a one to this bit.
0

10 PDFLAG Power-down entry flag. Set when the Power-down mode is 
successfully entered. Cleared by software writing a one to this bit.
0

11 DPDFLAG Deep Power-down entry flag. Set when the Deep Power-down mode 
is successfully entered. Cleared by software writing a one to this bit.
