And the reason to insert powerof() function is that, the MCS50XX series has some HW bugs like following: If the MCS50XX is not yet powered down before the whole system is power-down, when control pins like a powerup or interrupt is pulluped, the residue current is flow into chips and the chip still consume the power. It seems not be important general PC(if this small device is implemented with PC), but it's very important in the mobile device. sorry not to write such specific contents before. Thanks.
