A fundamental precept of low-power systems is: turn on, do something, then turn off.
The following diagram is a good example of this. One of the low-power modes lets you put the
fast components of the system to sleep, while retaining the slow clock running a RTC. Then, as
needed, the system wakes up, performs one or more tasks, then goes back into low-power mode.
