Nah, "nanoWatt" is a sort of tradename for a set of features aimed
at letting engineers design things that consume less power.
(probably in direct response to MSP430 pressures :-)

In fact, this is one of the things that I think microchip has done
well compared to other microcontroller vendors - made the features
(peripheral-wise) orthogonal with other things like RAM, PROM, and
pin count...
