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.
