LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47
32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller
7.18.5.4 Power-down mode
In Power-down mode, the LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47 is in Sleep-mode and all peripheral 
clocks and all clock sources are off with the exception of watchdog oscillator if selected. In 
addition all analog blocks and the flash are shut down. In Power-down mode, the user has 
the option to keep the BOD circuit running for BOD protection. 
The LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47 can wake up from Power-down mode via reset, selected 
GPIO pins, a watchdog timer interrupt, or an interrupt generating USB port activity.
Power-down mode reduces power consumption compared to Deep-sleep mode at the 
expense of longer wake-up times.
7.18.5.5 Deep power-down mode
In Deep power-down mode, power is shut off to the entire chip with the exception of the 
WAKEUP pin. The LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47 can wake up from Deep power-down mode 
via the WAKEUP pin.
The LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47 can be prevented from entering Deep power-down mode by 
setting a lock bit in the PMU block. Locking out Deep power-down mode enables the user 
to always keep the watchdog timer or the BOD running.
When entering Deep power-down mode, an external pull-up resistor is required on the 
WAKEUP pin to hold it HIGH. The RESET
 pin must also be held HIGH to prevent it from 
floating while in Deep power-down mode.
7.18.6 System control
7.18.6.1 Reset
Reset has four sources on the LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47: the RESET
 pin, the Watchdog 
reset, power-on reset (POR), and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) circuit. The RESET
 pin 
is a Schmitt trigger input pin. Assertion of chip reset by any source, once the operating 
voltage attains a usable level, starts the IRC and initializes the flash controller.
A LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns resets the part.
When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which 
is initially the Reset vector mapped from the boot block. At that point, all of the processor 
and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.
An external pull-up resistor is required on the RESET
 pin if Deep power-down mode is 
used.
7.18.6.2 Brownout detection
The LPC1315/16/17/45/46/47 includes up to four levels for monitoring the voltage on the 
V
DD
 pin. If this voltage falls below one of selected levels, the BOD asserts an interrupt 
signal to the NVIC. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable 
Register in the NVIC in order to cause a CPU interrupt; if not, software can monitor the 
signal by reading a dedicated status register. Four threshold levels can be selected to 
cause a forced reset of the chip.
