COP Control Register
6.4 COP Control Register
The COP control register (COPCTL) is located at address $FFFF and overlaps the reset vector. Writing
any value to $FFFF clears the COP counter and starts a new timeout period. Reading location $FFFF
returns the low byte of the reset vector.

6.5 Interrupts
The COP does not generate central processor unit (CPU) interrupt requests.
6.6 Monitor Mode
When monitor mode is entered with V_TST on the IRQ pin, the COP is disabled as long as V_TST remains
on the IRQ pin or the RST pin. When monitor mode is entered by having blank reset vectors and not
having V_TST on the IRQ pin, the COP is automatically disabled until a POR occurs.
6.7 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the microcontroller unit (MCU) in low power-consumption standby
modes.
6.7.1 Wait Mode
The COP remains active during wait mode. If COP is enabled, a reset will occur at COP timeout.
6.7.2 Stop Mode
Stop mode turns off the CGMXCLK input to the COP and clears the SIM counter. Service the COP
immediately before entering or after exiting stop mode to ensure a full COP timeout period after entering
or exiting stop mode.
To prevent inadvertently turning off the COP with a STOP instruction, a configuration option is available
that disables the STOP instruction. When the STOP bit in the configuration register has the STOP
instruction disabled, execution of a STOP instruction results in an illegal opcode reset.
6.8 COP Module During Break Mode
The COP is disabled during a break interrupt when V_TST is present on the RST pin.
