System configuration

A system that includes power consumption constraints in its specifications must be designed to meet the requirements in all its aspects, including hardware, software, and mechanical design. The selection of components and peripherals must take into account their energy profiles. External peripherals are often the most power-demanding components, and thus their power source must be interrupted by the microcontroller when they are not being used.
