　　Managing power domains

　　When thinking of battery-based MCU implementations we may initially have the assumption that there is a single MCU power domain， running off a battery and that our objective is to manage this power domain to create the most power-efficient MCU implementation possible. Soon we will discover that this assumption is usually false， however， and that even simple MCUs typically have multiple power domains on-chip. It turns out that having multiple power domains can be a big advantage when power efficiency is of primary importance to our design. Having multiple domains can allow us to more efficiently manage and control power to the portions of the MCU that are needed based on the functions we need to perform for our particular implementation. Let’s look at a specific MCU and see how multiple power domains can be advantageous to a typical battery-powered design.
