This document discusses different sleep modes for the ATmega328P microcontroller:
1) Idle mode halts the CPU clock but allows peripherals like SPI and ADC to continue operating. It allows wake up from external and internal interrupts.
2) ADC noise reduction mode further halts I/O and flash clocks to improve ADC noise environment. Only external resets and interrupts can wake the device.
3) Power-down mode stops the external oscillator and allows only asynchronous modules. Wake up sources are limited to resets and some external interrupts. There is a delay on wake up as clocks restart.
4) BOD (brown-out detection) can be disabled in software for some sleep modes to reduce

2 BOD Disable When the brown-out detector (BOD) is enabled by BODLEVEL fuses, Table 27-7 on page 244, the BOD is actively monitoring the power supply voltage during a sleep period. To save power, it is possible to disable the BOD by software for some of the sleep modes, see Table 9-1 on page 34. The sleep mode power consumption will then be at the same level as when BOD is globally disabled by fuses. If BOD is disabled in software, the BOD function is turned off immediately after entering the sleep mode. Upon wake-up from sleep, BOD is automatically enabled again. This ensures safe operation in case the VCC level has dropped during the sleep period. When the BOD has been disabled, the wake-up time from sleep mode will be approximately 60µs to ensure that the BOD is working correctly before the MCU continues executing code. BOD disable is controlled by bit 6, BODS (BOD Sleep) in the control register MCUCR, see Section 9.11.2 “MCUCR – MCU Control Register” on page 38. Writing this bit to one turns off the BOD in relevant sleep modes, while a zero in this bit keeps BOD active. Default setting keeps BOD active, i.e. BODS set to zero. Writing to the BODS bit is controlled by a timed sequence and an enable bit, see Section 9.11.2 “MCUCR – MCU Control Register” on page 38.
9.3 Idle Mode
When the SM2..0 bits are written to 000, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter idle mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the SPI, USART, analog comparator, ADC, 2-wire serial interface, Timer/Counters, watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. This sleep mode basically halts clkCPU and clkFLASH, while allowing the other clocks to run. Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like the timer overflow and USART transmit complete interrupts. If wake-up from the analog comparator interrupt is not required, the analog comparator can be powered down by setting the ACD bit in the analog comparator control and status register – ACSR. This will reduce power consumption in idle mode. If the ADC is enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered.
9.4 ADC Noise Reduction Mode
When the SM2..0 bits are written to 001, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter ADC noise reduction mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the ADC, the external interrupts, the 2-wire serial interface address watch, Timer/Counter2(1), and the watchdog to continue operating (if enabled). This sleep mode basically halts clkI/O, clkCPU, and clkFLASH, while allowing the other clocks to run. This improves the noise environment for the ADC, enabling higher resolution measurements. If the ADC is enabled, a conversion starts automatically when this mode is entered. Apart from the ADC conversion complete interrupt, only an external reset, a watchdog system reset, a watchdog interrupt, a brown-out reset, a 2-wire serial interface address match, a Timer/Counter2 interrupt, an SPM/EEPROM ready interrupt, an external level interrupt on INT0 or INT1 or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU from ADC noise reduction mode. Note: 1. Timer/Counter2 will only keep running in asynchronous mode, see Section 17. “8-bit Timer/Counter2 with PWM and Asynchronous Operation” on page 116 for details.
9.5 Power-down Mode
When the SM2..0 bits are written to 010, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter power-down mode. In this mode, the external oscillator is stopped, while the external interrupts, the 2-wire serial interface address watch, and the watchdog continue operating (if enabled). Only an external reset, a watchdog system reset, a watchdog interrupt, a brown-out reset, a 2-wire serial interface address match, an external level interrupt on INT0 or INT1, or a pin change interrupt can wake up the MCU. This sleep mode basically halts all generated clocks, allowing operation of asynchronous modules only. Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from power-down mode, the changed level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU. Refer to Section 12. “External Interrupts” on page 53 for details. When waking up from power-down mode, there is a delay from the wake-up condition occurs until the wake-up becomes effective. This allows the clock to restart and become stable after having been stopped. The wake-up period is defined by the same CKSEL fuses that define the reset time-out period, as described in Section 8.2 “Clock Sources” on page 25.
