When in HALT mode why does the HT48XA3 device continue to consume power?
Answer When the MCU enters the HALT mode the oscillator is stopped. However if the WDT oscillator (if WDT is enabled in the options) or if the RTC oscillator is still running then some power will be consumed. In addition, the I/Os will maintain the condition they were in when the HALT instruction was executed. It is important to check if the I/Os inputs are floating or outputs remain loaded in the HALT mode that they might consume power.
