Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for awakening an MCU of an SOC chip, which relate to the technical field of electronic circuits. The apparatus comprises an external awakening signal detection module, an interruption request generating module, a gated clock, and an interruption service program module. The external awakening signal detection module generates an internal awakening signal when an effective external awakening signal is detected. The interruption request generating module generates a gated clock enabling signal and an interruption request signal. The gated clock outputs a system clock to the interruption request generating module and an MCU according to the gated clock enabling signal, a sleep signal state and a register configuration signal state. After receiving the interruption request signal, the interruption service program module configures a gated clock control register to be in an effective state and generates an interruption exit signal and outputs the interruption exit signal to the MCU. By means of the present invention, awakening security is ensured, 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...
