Abstract
A microcontroller system includes a power manager that is configured to, during a power saving mode, configure an interrupt delaying module to receive and hold an interrupt from an interrupt source. In response to receiving the interrupt from the interrupt source, the power manager causes the microcontroller system to exit the power saving mode. Upon exiting the power saving mode, the power manager configures the interrupt delaying module to release the interrupt.
