4.3.2.2 Computer Operating Properly (COP) Reset
An input to the SIM is reserved for the COP reset signal. The overflow of the COP counter causes an
internal reset and sets the COP bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR). The SIM actively pulls down
the RST pin for all internal reset sources.
To prevent a COP module timeout, write any value to location $FFFF. Writing to location $FFFF clears
the COP counter and bits 12 through 5 of the SIM counter. The SIM counter output, which occurs at least
every 2¹³ – 2⁴ CGMXCLK cycles, drives the COP counter. The COP should be serviced as soon as
possible out of reset to guarantee the maximum amount of time before the first timeout.
The COP module is disabled if the RST pin or the IRQ pin is held at V_TST while the MCU is in monitor
mode. The COP module can be disabled only through combinational logic conditioned with the high
voltage signal on the RST or the IRQ pin. This prevents the COP from becoming disabled as a result of
external noise. During a break state, V_TST on the RST pin disables the COP module.
4.3.2.3 Illegal Opcode Reset
The SIM decodes signals from the CPU to detect illegal instructions. An illegal instruction sets the ILOP
bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR) and causes a reset.
If the stop enable bit, STOP, in the mask option register is logic 0, the SIM treats the STOP instruction as
an illegal opcode and causes an illegal opcode reset. The SIM actively pulls down the RST pin for all
internal reset sources.
4.3.2.4 Illegal Address Reset
An opcode fetch from an unmapped address generates an illegal address reset. The SIM verifies that the
CPU is fetching an opcode prior to asserting the ILAD bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR) and
resetting the MCU. A data fetch from an unmapped address does not generate a reset. The SIM actively
pulls down the RST pin for all internal reset sources.
