Method for powering down unused configuration bits to minimize power consumption

摘要

A system for powering down configuration circuits to minimize power consumption has at least one first configuration circuit for configuring a peripheral module. A second configuration circuit is coupled to the peripheral module and to the at least one first configuration circuit. The second configuration circuit is used for enabling and disabling the peripheral module. The second configuration circuit is further used to power down the at least one first configuration circuit to minimize current consumption of the at least one first configuration circuit when the peripheral module is disabled.
