Conclusion

The STM8L/STM8AL families offer many possibilities for the development of low

consumption applications. The user can take advantage of various low power modes like

Wait, Low power Run/Wait, or Halt and Active-halt modes. He can also reduce consumption

by switching off peripherals when they are not being used. Another important point is the

optimization of the ratio between Run and Halt modes due to the good performance of the

CPU itself.

The main important principles are described in this application note, including a few hints on

how and when to use it. Much more examples exist, depending on your exact needs. You

can find them on www.st.com.
