Device Overview MC9S12G-Family
The operating mode out of reset is determined by the state of the MODC signal during reset (see
Table 1-33). The MODC bit in the MODE register shows the current operating mode and provides limited
mode switching during operation. The state of the MODC signal is latched into this bit on the rising edge
of RESET.

1.10.1.1 Normal Single-Chip Mode
This mode is intended for normal device operation. The opcode from the on-chip memory is being
executed after reset (requires the reset vector to be programmed correctly). The processor program is
executed from internal memory.
1.10.1.2 Special Single-Chip Mode
This mode is used for debugging single-chip operation, boot-strapping, or security related operations. The
background debug module BDM is active in this mode. The CPU executes a monitor program located in
an on-chip ROM. BDM firmware waits for additional serial commands through the BKGD pin.
1.10.2 Low Power Operation
The MC9S12G has two static low-power modes Pseudo Stop and Stop Mode. For a detailed description
refer to S12CPMU section.
1.11 Security
The MCU security mechanism prevents unauthorized access to the Flash memory. Refer to Chapter 9,
“Security (S12XS9SECV2)”, Section 7.4.1, “Security”, and Section 29.5, “Security”.
1.12 Resets and Interrupts
Consult the S12 CPU manual and the S12SINT section for information on exception processing.
1.12.1 Resets
Table 1-34. lists all Reset sources and the vector locations. Resets are explained in detail in the Chapter 10,
“S12 Clock, Reset and Power Management Unit (S12CPMU)”.
