In comparison, typical microprocessor designs, those without a static core, only refresh and present valid outputs on their pins during specific periods of the clock cycle. If the clock is slowed, or stopped, the charge on the pin leaks out of the capacitors over time, quickly moving to the default state and no longer being valid. These designs have to run within a set range of clock frequencies to avoid this problem.
Static core microprocessors include the

family.

. Such design features allow the entire system to be "paused" indefinitely in a low power state, and then instantly resumed when needed.
