Special Modes
sensitive, interrupts should be disabled to prevent PLL interrupt service routines from impeding software
performance or from exceeding stack limitations.
NOTE
Software can select the CGMVCLK divided by two as the CGMOUT source
even if the PLL is not locked (LOCK = 0). Therefore, software should make
sure the PLL is locked before setting the BCS bit.
4.7 Special Modes
The WAIT instruction puts the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
4.7.1 Wait Mode
The WAIT instruction does not affect the CGM. Before entering wait mode, software can disengage and
turn off the PLL by clearing the BCS and PLLON bits in the PLL control register (PCTL) to save power.
Less power-sensitive applications can disengage the PLL without turning it off, so that the PLL clock is
immediately available at WAIT exit. This would be the case also when the PLL is to wake the MCU from
wait mode, such as when the PLL is first enabled and waiting for LOCK or LOCK is lost.
4.7.2 Stop Mode
If the OSCSTOPENB bit in the CONFIG register is cleared (default), then the STOP instruction disables
the CGM (oscillator and phase locked loop) and holds low all CGM outputs (CGMXCLK, CGMOUT, and
CGMINT).
If the STOP instruction is executed with the VCO clock, CGMVCLK, divided by two driving CGMOUT, the
PLL automatically clears the BCS bit in the PLL control register (PCTL), thereby selecting the crystal
clock, CGMXCLK, divided by two as the source of CGMOUT. When the MCU recovers from STOP, the
crystal clock divided by two drives CGMOUT and BCS remains clear.
If the OSCSTOPENB bit in the CONFIG register is set, then the phase locked loop is shut off but the
oscillator will continue to operate in stop mode.
4.7.3 CGM During Break Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the SIM break flag control register (SBFCR) enables software to clear
status bits during the break state. (See 14.7.1 SIM Break Status Register.)
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 the PLLF bit 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 the PLL control register during the break state without affecting
the PLLF bit.
4.8 Acquisition/Lock Time Specifications
The acquisition and lock times of the PLL are, in many applications, the most critical PLL design
parameters. Proper design and use of the PLL ensures the highest stability and lowest acquisition/lock
times.
