This is actually an experimental tutorial that shows how to put a PIC microcontroller into Sleep mode to lower the power consumption in battery-powered applications. I used PIC16F628A and MikroC Pro for PIC for illustration.

The Sleep feature of PIC microcontrollers is an extremely useful mechanism to minimize power consumption in battery-powered applications. In Sleep mode, the power consumption is lowest. The device can be woken up by an external reset, a watch-dog timer reset, an interrupt on INT0 pin, or port-on-change interrupt. This project describes how to put a PIC microcontroller into Sleep mode and then compares the current consumption during Sleep mode and the normal operation mode.
An ammeter is connected in series to monitor the current drawn from the source.
