16.4.1 Flag Protection During Break Interrupts

The system integration module (SIM) controls whether or not module status bits can be cleared during the break state. The BCFE bit in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status bits during the break state. (See 7.8.3 Break Flag Control Register (BFCR) and see the Break Interrupts subsection for each module.)

16.4.2 CPU During Break Interrupts

The CPU starts a break interrupt by:

•Loading the instruction register with the SWI instruction

•Loading the program counter with $FFFC:$FFFD ($FEFC:$FEFD in monitor mode)

The break interrupt begins after completion of the CPU instruction in progress. If the break address register match occurs on the last cycle of a CPU instruction, the break interrupt begins immediately.

16.4.3 TIM During Break Interrupts

A break interrupt stops the timer counter.

16.4.4 COP During Break Interrupts

The COP is disabled during a break interrupt when VDD + VHI is present

on the RST pin.

16.5 Break Module Registers

Three registers control and monitor operation of the break module:

•Break status and control register (BRKSCR)

•Break address register high (BRKH)

•Break address register low (BRKL)
