Is there a way to switch a CompactRISC core to low-power mode?

0

Yes. The CompactRISC WAIT and EIWAIT instructions suspend instruction execution in the core and significantly reduce power consumption. Typically an application will first switch the whole system to power down mode using a power management module, before executing one of those instructions. After executing WAIT or EIWAIT only an interrupt can resume instruction execution by the core.
