Abstract

A power-saving system includes a retention memory element for a retained peripheral that is set to a logic state during an operational-power mode and maintains the logic state during an enhanced power-saving mode. The power-saving system also includes a non-retention memory element for a non-retained peripheral that is set to a logic state during the operational-power mode of the power-saving system; and a controller that instructs the retention memory element to maintain its logic state while in an enhanced power-saving mode.
