# Power states and features

The power saving states, or sleep states, enable you to
review the power states before, during, and after running an
application. The process ensures a comprehensive power sanity check of
the device.

- System-on-chip sleep states
A system-on-chip (SoC) sleep state is a low-power mode that the entire SoC enters when the
device is idle or not actively running any use cases.
- CPU power management
CPU power management techniques aim to reduce the power consumption of
the CPU during both active and idle periods by using the resources
efficiently.
