+Power Management **V2**
+***********************
+
+.. py:module:: power
+
+This module lets you manage the power modes of the micro:bit V2.
+
+There are two micro:bit board low power modes that can be requested from
+MicroPython:
+
+- **Deep Sleep**: Low power mode where the board can be woken up via
+  multiple sources (pins, button presses, or a timer) and resume
+  operation.
+- **Off**: The power mode with the lowest power consumption, the only way to
+  wake up the board is via the reset button, or by plugging the USB cable while
+  on battery power.
+  When the board wakes up it will restart and execute your programme from the
+  beginning.
+
+More information on how these low power modes work can be found in the
+`Detailed Information section <#detailed-information>`_.
+
+Functions
+=========
+
+.. py:function:: off()
+
+    Power down the board to the lowest possible power mode.
+
+    This is the equivalent to pressing the reset button for a few second,
+    to set the board in "Off mode".
+
+    The micro:bit will only wake up if the reset button is pressed or,
+    if on battery power, when a USB cable is connected.
+
+    When the board wakes up it will start for a reset state, so your programme
+    will start running from the beginning.
+
+
+.. py:function:: deep_sleep(ms=None, wake_on=None, run_every=False)
+
+    Set the micro:bit into a low power mode where it can wake up and continue
+    operation.
+
+    The programme state is preserved and when it wakes up it will resume
+    operation where it left off.
+
+    Deep Sleep mode will consume more battery power than Off mode.
+
+    The wake up sources are configured via arguments.
+
+    If no wake up sources have been configured it will sleep until the reset
+    button is pressed (which resets the board) or, in battery power,
+    when the USB cable is inserted.
+
+    :param ms: A time in milliseconds to wait before it wakes up.
+    :param wake_on: A single instance or a tuple of pins and/or buttons to
+        wake up the board, e.g. ``deep_sleep(wake_on=button_a)`` or
+        ``deep_sleep(wake_on=(pin0, pin2, button_b))``.
+    :param run_every: Set to ``True`` to wake up with each
+        ``microbit.run_every`` scheduled run.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Example programme showing the power management API:
+
+.. include:: ../examples/low-power.py

+
+
+Example using data logging:
+
+.. include:: ../examples/datalog-sleep.py
+    :code: python
+
+
+Detailed Information
+====================
+
+The micro:bit board has two microcontrollers (MCUs), which can be
+independently asleep or awake:
+
+- **Target MCU** - Where MicroPython and your code run.
+- **Interface MCU** - A secondary microcontroller that provides the USB
+  functionality, like the ``MICROBIT`` USB drive, and the USB serial interface.
+
+.. image:: power-mcus.png
+
+Each MCU can be in one of these "MCU power modes":
+
+- **Awake**: Running normally.
+- **Sleep**: A low power mode where the MCU can be woken up from different
+  sources and continue operation.
+- **Power Down**: The lowest power mode for an individual MCU, when it wakes up
+  it will start from reset.
+
+The Python code can request a "board power mode", in this case **Deep Sleep**
+or **Off**, which will set the Target into a specific "MCU power mode",
+but the Interface MCU mode will depend on the micro:bit power source,
+i.e. if it's powered via USB (connector to a computer) or battery.
+
+In essence, on battery power the Interface MCU can go into a low power mode,
+but when it is connected to a computer via USB, it will stay awake to maintain
+the USB connection.
