Static Power Management in Embedded Systems

The book covers tests concerning Static Power Management (SPM) for the purpose of power reduction. The different cases use different methods turning on/off microcontroller peripherals optimal peripheral utilization and memory access control. It investigates and takes a deeper look of the possible methods for energy consumption reduction in embedded systems. The approaches can be split in hardware and software ones. The following constraints were defined at the beginning of the book that influenced the research and development till the very last test the IC process technology is kept constant; the μC architecture is kept constant; the circuit structure is not changed; no OS is used only bare-metal firmware; only deeply-embedded microcontrollers are considered in the class of MSP430 ARM Cortex-M0 -M3 -M4 based μC etc.
