devices are capable of achieving extremely low power
consumption, which is required by both portable electronics and other battery-
powered applications.
powered applications.
To reach the lowest possible power figures there are a few points to pay attention
to – it is not only the sleep mode that defines the power consumption, but also the
state of the I/O pins, the number of enabled peripheral modules and so on.

This application note describes what must be done to achieve the lowest possible
power consumption for XMEGA devices. Example code is also supplied, which
compiles with both GCC and IAR Embedded Workbench
