COP884CG Datasheet, PDF (14/42 Pages) National Semiconductor (TI) – 8-Bit Microcontroller with UART and Three Multi-Function Timers

Power Save Modes (Continued)
The device has two mask options associated with the HALT
mode The first mask option enables the HALT mode fea-
ture while the second mask option disables the HALT
mode With the HALT mode enable mask option the device
will enter and exit the HALT mode as described above With
the HALT disable mask option the device cannot be placed
in the HALT mode (writing a ‘‘1’’ to the HALT flag will have
no effect)
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during the
HALT mode However the clock monitor circuit if enabled
remains active during HALT mode in order to ensure a clock
monitor error if the device inadvertently enters the HALT
mode as a result of a runaway program or power glitch
IDLE MODE
The device is placed in the IDLE mode by writing a ‘‘1’’ to
the IDLE flag (G6 data bit) In this mode all activities except
the associated on-board oscillator circuitry the WATCH-
DOG logic the clock monitor and the IDLE Timer T0 are
stopped
As with the HALT mode the device can be returned to nor-
mal operation with a reset or with a Multi-Input Wakeup
from the L Port Alternately the microcontroller resumes
normal operation from the IDLE mode when the thirteenth
bit (representing 4 096 ms at internal clock frequency of
1 MHz t_c e 1 ms) of the IDLE Timer toggles
This toggle condition of the thirteenth bit of the IDLE Timer
T0 is latched into the T0PND pending flag
The user has the option of being interrupted with a transition
on the thirteenth bit of the IDLE Timer T0 The interrupt can
be enabled or disabled via the T0EN control bit Setting the
T0EN flag enables the interrupt and vice versa
The user can enter the IDLE mode with the Timer T0 inter-
rupt enabled In this case when the T0PND bit gets set the
device will first execute the Timer T0 interrupt service rou-
tine and then return to the instruction following the ‘‘Enter
Idle Mode’’ instruction
Alternatively the user can enter the IDLE mode with the
IDLE Timer T0 interrupt disabled In this case the device
will resume normal operation with the instruction immediate-
ly following the ‘‘Enter IDLE Mode’’ instruction
Note It is necessary to program two NOP instructions following both the set
HALT mode and set IDLE mode instructions These NOP instructions
are necessary to allow clock resynchronization following the HALT or
IDLE modes
Multi-Input Wakeup
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature is ued to return (wakeup)
the device from either the HALT or IDLE modes Alternately
Multi-Input Wakeup Interrupt feature may also be used to
generate up to 8 edge selectable external interrupts
Figure 10 shows the Multi-Input Wakeup logic
