5. STANDBY FUNCTION

5.1 Outline of Standby Function

To save current consumption, two types of standby modes, i.e., HALT mode and STOP mode, are made available.

In STOP mode, the system clock stops oscillation. At this time, the XIN and XOUT pins are fixed at a low level.

In HALT mode, CPU operation halts, while the system clock continues oscillation. When in HALT mode, the

timer (including REM output and LED output) operates.

In either STOP mode or HALT mode, the statuses of the data memory, accumulator, and port register, etc.

immediately before the standby mode is set are retained. Therefore, make sure to set the port status for the system

so that the current consumption of the whole system is suppressed before the standby mode is set.

• 0 (When 1, the flag is not placed in the standby mode.)

(The count value is reset to “0”)

Cautions 1. Write the NOP instruction as the first instruction after STOP mode is released.

2. When standby mode is released, the status flag (F) is set (to 1).

3. If, at the point the standby mode has been set, its release condition is met, then the system

is not placed in the standby mode. However, the status flag (F) is set (1).
