Table 32. M88 Family Timing and Stand-by Current during Power Down Mode
Note: 1. Power Down does not affect the operation of the PLD. The PLD operation in this mode is based only on the Turbo Bit.
2. Typical current consumption assuming no PLD inputs are changing state and the PLD Turbo bit is off.

states keeps the PLD out of standby mode, but not
the memories.
t The PSD Chip Select Input (CSI) on all families
can be used to disable the internal memories,
placing them in standby mode even if inputs are
changing. This feature does not block any internal
signals or disable the PLDs. This is a good
alternative to using the APD logic. There is a slight
penalty in memory access time when the CSI
signal makes its initial transition from deselected
to selected.
t The PMMR registers can be written by the MCU
at run-time to manage power. All three families
support “blocking bits” in these registers that are
set to block designated signals from reaching both
PLDs. Current consumption of the PLDs is directly
related to the composite frequency of the changes
on their inputs (see Figure 36 and Figure 37).
Significant power savings can be achieved by
blocking signals that are not used in DPLD or
CPLD logic equations. Unique to the M88x3Fxx
FLASH+PSD devices is the Turbo Bit in the
PMMR0 register. This bit can be set to disable the
Turbo Mode feature (default is Turbo Mode on).
While Turbo Mode is disabled, the PLDs can
achieve standby current when no PLD inputs are
changing (zero DC current). Even when inputs do
change, significant power can be saved at lower
frequencies (AC current), compared to when
Turbo Mode is enabled. When the Turbo Mode is
enabled,

component and the AC component is higher.
Automatic Power Down (APD) Unit and Power
Down Mode
The APD Unit, shown in Figure 33, puts the PSD
into Power Down Mode by monitoring the activity
of the address strobe (ALE/AS). If the APD unit is
enabled, as soon as activity on the address strobe
stops, a four bit counter starts counting. If the
address strobe remains inactive for fifteen clock
periods of the CLKIN signal, the Power Down
(PDN) signal becomes active, and the PSD will
enter into Power Down Mode, discussed next.
Power Down Mode
By default, if you enable the PSD APD unit, Power
Down Mode is automatically enabled. The device
will enter Power Down Mode if the address strobe
(ALE/AS) remains inactive for fifteen CLKIN (pin
PD1) clock periods.
The following should be kept in mind when the
PSD is in Power Down Mode:
