8.0 Power Save Modes (Continued)

8.2 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 and the IDLE Timer

T0, are stopped.

As with the HALT mode, the device can be returned to

normal 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 twelfth bit

(representing 4.096 ms at internal clock frequency of

10 MHz, t

= 1 µs) of the IDLE Timer toggles.

This toggle condition of the twelfth 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 twelfth 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 routine

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 immediately

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.
