5512 - Power Controller: What does Standby Mode mean?

Generally, Standby Mode refers to the state where both the User logic and the embedded blocks are idle and not performing any function (not toggling).

The "Power Controller" block provides an output signal called "STDBY", which the user can use to put their logic in standby mode. Apart from the user logic, the "STDBY" signal can be used to turn off the oscillator and PLLs.

To turn off the internal oscillator, the user needs to explicitly instantiate the "OSCH" module in their design and disable it. The PLL block when not used, is disabled by default.
