19.5.2 SIM Counter During Stop Mode Recovery
The SIM counter also is used for stop mode recovery. The STOP
instruction clears the SIM counter. After an interrupt, break, or reset, the
SIM senses the state of the short stop recovery bit, SSREC, in the mask
option register. If the SSREC bit is a logic 1, then the stop recovery is
reduced from the normal delay of 4096 CGMXCLK cycles down to 32
CGMXCLK cycles. This is ideal for applications using canned oscillators
that do not require long startup times from stop mode. External crystal
applications should use the full stop recovery time, that is, with SSREC
cleared.
19.5.3 SIM Counter and Reset States
External reset has no effect on the SIM counter. (See 19.7.2 Stop Mode
for details.) The SIM counter is free-running after all reset states. (See
19.4.2 Active Resets from Internal Sources for counter control and
internal reset recovery sequences.)
19.6 Exception Control
Normal, sequential program execution can be changed in three different
ways:
• Interrupts:
– Maskable hardware CPU interrupts
– Non-maskable software interrupt instruction (SWI)
• Reset
• Break interrupts
19.6.1 Interrupts
At the beginning of an interrupt, the CPU saves the CPU register
contents on the stack and sets the interrupt mask (I bit) to prevent
additional interrupts. At the end of an interrupt, the RTI instruction
recovers the CPU register contents from the stack so that normal
