>Actually the key is to use the RC osc with the A/D in sleep mode! OOPS! I was aware of using the RC osc to clk the A/D. But the A/D is not listed as a peripheral that can wake up the processor from sleep mode on my spec. sheet (section 14.8). I regurgiated this fact in a previous message. However, in the A/D section it does state a A/D interrupt can wake up the processor from sleep mode.
