The ICL-4300 is designed to minimize power consumption, making it suitable for solar-powered applications.
The CPU clock speed can be reduced to save power, and the CPU core can be put into sleep mode, further lowering power consumption.
When in sleep mode, the CPU core can wake up and resume operation on an external interrupt (such as COM port activity).
The chart below shows typical power consumption for the various modes, with and without a Combo I/O card:
