System Architecture
Sleep mode – low power mode that does not save state but keeps I/Os powered. While the 
RTC, power manager, and clock module states are saved, coprocessor 14 is not.
Note:
In low power modes, ensure that input pins are not floating and output pins are not driven by an 
external device in conflict with how the processor is driving that pin. In either case, the system 
draws excess current. Current draw that varies in sleep mode or varies greatly between parts is 
typically a sign of floating pins.
 describes the modes in detail.

Pin List
Some of the processor pins can be connected to multiple signals. The signal connected to the pin is 
determined by the GPIO Alternate Function Select Registers (GAFRn_m). Some signals can be 
connected to multiple pins. The signal must be routed to only one pin by using the GAFRn_m 
registers. Because this is true, some pins are listed twice, once in each unit that can use the pin. 
 describes the PXA26x processor family pins.
