Hi everybody,

I'm using an LPCU68 in a particular circuit. In the circuit I use two different supply sources and I turn off the micro in order to go in “power-saving” state (another micro is connected to another suplly and it's always on).
When the LPC is turned off, are all the pins in a not-well-known state? I mean, can some pin be in a high or low logical state with low impedance and draw-source some current?
Is it possible to have all of these in high impedance state?

Best regards

Hello,
If the device is not powered, then the state of the chip is completely undefined.  It is dangerous for another device to drive any voltage in a circuit that connects to an IC that is powered off.  Either IC may be damaged since the IOs are not in a controlled state. 

If you want to ensure that the device is in a known state, then try using Deep Power-Down mode, for example, which holds all pins (except WAKEUP) in tri-state mode.  This will require that you keep an active power supply to the device.

If you must power-off the part of the system where this MCU is included, then all connecting circuits in the powered-on area should be high impedance, and must not drive a voltage on these connecting paths.
