Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for awakening an MCU (micro control unit) of an SOC (system on chip) chip, and belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits. The device comprises an external awakening signal detection module, an interrupt request generating module, a gated clock and an interrupt service program module. The method includes that the external awakening signal detection module generates an internal awakening signal when an effective external awakening signal is detected; after receiving the internal awakening signal, the interrupt request generating module generates a gated clock enabling signal and an interrupt request signal; the gated clock outputs a system clock to the interrupt request generating module and the MCU according to the gated clock enabling signal, sleeping signal states and register configuration signal states; after receiving the interrupt request signal, the interrupt service program module configures a gated clock control register to be in an effective state and generates an interrupting exit signal to be output to the MCU. By the device and the method, awakening safety is guaranteed, extra awakening is avoided, and system power consumption is effectively lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, in particular to an MCU wake-up device and method for an SOC chip. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the power consumption of SOC (System on Chip, System on Chip) chips, most chips now have sleep and wake-up functions, and the system clock is turned off in sleep mode, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing system power consumption. However, the method of waking up the MCU (Micro Control Unit, micro control unit) basically uses a standard interface or a single signal to directly wake up the MCU. Although the standard interface wakeup can avoid glitches very well, the wakeup sequence is complicated, and the chip must have this interface. Although it is convenient to wake up the MCU directly with a single signal, it is sensitive to glitches and may cause additional wakeups. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the p...
