14.5 Wait Mode
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low-power-
consumption standby modes.
The SCI module remains active after the execution of a WAIT
instruction. In wait mode the SCI module registers are not accessible by
the CPU. Any enabled CPU interrupt request from the SCI module can
bring the MCU out of wait mode.
If SCI module functions are not required during wait mode, reduce power
consumption by disabling the module before executing the WAIT
instruction.
14.6 SCI During Break Module Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other
modules can be cleared during interrupts generated by the break
module. The BCFE bit in the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR)
enables software to clear status bits during the break state.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a
logic 1 to the BCFE bit. If a status bit is cleared during the break state, it
remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a logic 0 to the BCFE
bit. With BCFE at logic 0 (its default state), software can read and write
I/O registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some
status bits have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If software
does the first step on such a bit before the break, the bit cannot change
during the break state as long as BCFE is at logic 0. After the break,
doing the second step clears the status bit.
