System Integration Module (SIM)

14.5.1.2 Software Interrupt (SWI) Instruction

The software interrupt (SWI) instruction is a non-maskable instruction that causes an interrupt regardless of the state of the interrupt mask

(I bit) in the condition code register.

14.5.2 Reset

All reset sources always have equal and highest priority and cannot be arbitrated.

14.6 Low-Power Mode

Executing the WAIT instruction puts the MCU in a low power-consumption mode for standby situations. The SIM holds the CPU in a non-clocked state. WAIT clears the interrupt mask (I) in the condition code register, allowing interrupts to occur.

14.6.1 Wait Mode

In wait mode, the CPU clocks are inactive while the peripheral clocks continue to run. Figure 14-11shows the timing for wait mode entry.

A module that is active during wait mode can wake up the CPU with an interrupt if the interrupt is enabled. Stacking for the interrupt begins one cycle after the WAIT instruction during which the interrupt occurred. Refer to the wait mode subsection of each module to see if the module is active or inactive in wait mode. Some modules can be programmed to be active in wait mode.

Wait mode can also be exited by a reset. If the COP disable bit, COPD, in the configuration register is logic 0, then the computer operating properly module (COP) is enabled and remains active in wait mode.
