+# Power Management Example
+
+(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
+
+This example demonstrates power management (PM) locks with multiple tasks: one task holds `ESP_PM_CPU_FREQ_MAX` during a short critical section, another holds `ESP_PM_NO_LIGHT_SLEEP` during a short awake window, and a third task periodically dumps PM config and lock/mode stats. Locks are used only where needed so the system can lower CPU frequency or enter light sleep the rest of the time.
+
+## How to Use Example
+
+### Hardware Required
+
+Any supported ESP development board.
+
+### Configure the Project
+
+Run `idf.py menuconfig`. Under **Example Configuration** you can set:
+
+- **Max CPU frequency (MHz)** — CPU frequency when ESP_PM_CPU_FREQ_MAX PM lock is held.
+- **Min CPU frequency (MHz)** — CPU frequency when no PM lock is held.
+- **Enable automatic light sleep when idle** — When enabled (and tickless idle is enabled), the chip may enter light sleep when no PM lock is held. Default is on if tickless idle is enabled.
+
+Enable PM under **Component config → Power Management → Support for power management**. The example uses `sdkconfig.defaults` to set `CONFIG_PM_ENABLE` and `CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_TICKLESS_IDLE`. PM is not supported with SMP FreeRTOS; the example sets `CONFIG_FREERTOS_SMP=n`.
+
+### Build and Flash
+
+Build the project, flash it to the board, and run the serial monitor:
+
+```
+idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
+```
+
+(Replace PORT with your serial port. Exit monitor with `Ctrl-]`.)
+
+## Example Output
+
+At startup the example prints the PM config. The **pm_dump** task then prints PM config and lock/mode stats every 10 seconds; the two demo tasks do not log.
+
+```
