Nope. For normal power saving the entire clock tree is divided by 16 when idle. For full power saving the crystal is powered down. Leo Havm�ller.

I know of a single wire interface, which is bidirectional and multiplexes data with VCC and GND on a single wire. Two units, one have a battery and the other one does not have any power source, but is powered, when in contact with the first unit through the single wire. Cant reveal any details, but it is a known fact that it is easier to solve a problem, once one knows it is solvable ;-) -- Best Regards Ulf Samuelsson These are my own personal opinions, which may or may not be shared by my employer Atmel Nordic AB

Sounds like a novel application of an RFID chip.

BTW, your original problem has been solved many times before. You need to have some sort of timing reference, but then when the clock is shut down, I would expect the chip is not active either... so I don't think that is a problem. Even if the timing reference varies, the data can be recovered. Think of a signal source where the clocking rate changes during the message. It is something I am sure you see in action nearly every day. Rick |
