Low-Power Modes
The LDA opcode is prefetched by both the INT1 and INT2 RTI instructions. However, in the case of the
INT1 RTI prefetch, this is a redundant operation.
NOTE
To maintain compatibility with the M68HC05, M6805 and M146805
Families the H register is not pushed on the stack during interrupt entry. If
the interrupt service routine modifies the H register or uses the indexed
addressing mode, software should save the H register and then restore it
prior to exiting the routine.
9.5.1.2 SWI Instruction
The SWI instruction is a non-maskable instruction that causes an interrupt regardless of the state of the
interrupt mask (I bit) in the condition code register.
NOTE
A software interrupt pushes PC onto the stack. A software interrupt does
not push PC – 1, as a hardware interrupt does.
9.5.2 Reset
All reset sources always have higher priority than interrupts and cannot be arbitrated.
9.5.3 Break Interrupts
The break module can stop normal program flow at a software-programmable break point by asserting its
break interrupt output. See Chapter 13 Break Module (BRK). The SIM puts the CPU into the break state
by forcing it to the SWI vector location. Refer to the break interrupt subsection of each module to see how
each module is affected by the break state.
9.5.4 Status Flag Protection in Break Mode
The SIM controls whether status flags contained in other modules can be cleared during break mode. The
user can select whether flags are protected from being cleared by properly initializing the break clear flag
enable bit (BCFE) in the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR).
Protecting flags in break mode ensures that set flags will not be cleared while in break mode. This
protection allows registers to be freely read and written during break mode without losing status flag
information.
Setting the BCFE bit enables the clearing mechanisms. Once cleared in break mode, a flag remains
cleared even when break mode is exited. Status flags with a two-step clearing mechanism — for example,
a read of one register followed by the read or write of another — are protected, even when the first step
is accomplished prior to entering break mode. Upon leaving break mode, execution of the second step
will clear the flag as normal.
9.6 Low-Power Modes
Executing the WAIT or STOP instruction puts the MCU in a low power- consumption mode for standby
situations. The SIM holds the CPU in a non-clocked state. The operation of each of these modes is
described below. Both STOP and WAIT clear the interrupt mask (I) in the condition code register, allowing
interrupts to occur.
