Questions answered in these manuals
What happens in Idle Mode?
In Idle Mode the CPU sleeps while most on‑chip peripherals stay active; DMA channels stop and the mode can be exited by any enabled interrupt or a hardware reset.
From: Intel 8XC152JA/JB/JC/JD Universal Communication Controller 8‑bit Microcontroller Datasheet
What are the characteristics of Power‑Down Mode?
Power‑Down Mode stops the oscillator and all on‑chip functions except the on‑chip RAM, and it can only be terminated by a hardware reset.
