Most embedded systems spend a lot of time waiting for something to happen. It could for example be waiting for user input, a peripheral unit, or just for some time to pass.

Fortunately, modern low power microcontrollers provide a plethora of low power modes in which the application can take refuge while waiting, saving a little bit of energy.
