What is PMD?
PMD is a power-saving feature found in PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs). PMD shuts down unused peripherals to reduce their power consumption to minimal levels. When PMD is active for a peripheral, the peripheral:
- Is held in reset
- Writes are disabled
- Outputs are disabled
PMD is controlled by software and peripherals that have been shut down can be restarted at runtime.
