Power Save Modes
The device offers the user two power save modes of opera-
tion: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode, all microcontroller
activities are stopped. In the IDLE mode, the on-board oscil-
lator circuitry the WATCHDOG logic, the Clock Monitor and
timer T0 are active but all other microcontroller activities are
stopped. In either mode, all on-board RAM, registers, I/O
states, and timers (with the exception of T0) are unaltered.
HALT MODE
The device can be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”
to the HALT flag (G7 data bit). All microcontroller activities,
including the clock and timers, are stopped. The WATCH-
DOG logic is disabled during the HALT mode. However, the
clock monitor circuitry if enabled remains active and will
cause the WATCHDOG output pin (WDOUT) to go low. If the
HALT mode is used and the user does not want to activate
the WDOUT pin, the Clock Monitor should be disabled after
the device comes out of reset (resetting the Clock Monitor
control bit with the first write to the WDSVR register). In the
HALT mode, the power requirements of the device are mini-
mal and the applied voltage (VCC) may be decreased to Vr
(Vr = 2.0V) without altering the state of the machine.
The device supports three different ways of exiting the HALT
mode. The first method of exiting the HALT mode is with the
Multi-Input Wakeup feature on the L port. The second
method is with a low to high transition on the CKO (G7) pin.
This method precludes the use of the crystal clock configura-
tion (since CKO becomes a dedicated output), and so may
be used with an RC clock configuration. The third method of
exiting the HALT mode is by pulling the RESET pin low.
Since a crystal or ceramic resonator may be selected as the
oscillator, the Wakeup signal is not allowed to start the chip
running immediately since crystal oscillators and ceramic
resonators have a delayed start up time to reach full ampli-
tude and frequency stability. The IDLE timer is used to gen-
erate a fixed delay to ensure that the oscillator has indeed
stabilized before allowing instruction execution. In this case,
upon detecting a valid Wakeup signal, only the oscillator cir-
cuitry is enabled. The IDLE timer is loaded with a value of
256 and is clocked with the tc instruction cycle clock. The tc
clock is derived by dividing the oscillator clock down by a fac-
tor of 10. The Schmitt trigger following the CKI inverter on
the chip ensures that the IDLE timer is clocked only when the
oscillator has a sufficiently large amplitude to meet the
Schmitt trigger specifications. This Schmitt trigger is not part
of the oscillator closed loop. The startup timeout from the
IDLE timer enables the clock signals to be routed to the rest
of the chip.
If an RC clock option is being used, the fixed delay is intro-
duced optionally. A control bit, CLKDLY, mapped as configu-
ration bit G7, controls whether the delay is to be introduced
or not. The delay is included if CLKDLY is set, and excluded
if CLKDLY is reset. The CLKDLY bit is cleared on reset.
The device has two mask options associated with the HALT
mode. The first mask option enables the HALT mode feature,
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 HALT flag will remain “0”).
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during the
HALT mode. However, the clock monitor circuit if enabled re-
mains 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.
