______

(1) The processor does not switch to stop mode when the NMI pin is at “L” level.

____________

(2) When returning from stop mode by hardware reset, RESET pin must be set to “L” level until

main clock oscillation is stabilized.

(3) When switching to either wait mode or stop mode, instructions occupying four bytes either

from the WAIT instruction or from the instruction that sets the all clock stop control bit to “1”

within the instruction queue are prefetched and then the program stops. So put at least four

NOPs in succession either to the WAIT instruction or to the instruction that sets the all clock

stop control bit to “1”.

(4) Before the count source for BCLK can be changed from XIN to XCIN or vice versa, the clock to

which the count source is going to be switched must be oscillating stably. Allow a wait time in

software for the oscillation to stabilize before switching over the clock.

(5) Suggestions to reduce power consumption

• Ports

The processor retains the state of each programmable I/O port even when it goes to

wait mode or to stop mode. A current flows in active I/O ports. A pass current flows in

input ports that float. When entering wait mode or stop mode, set non-used ports to

input and stabilize the potential.

(a) A-D converter

A current always flows in the VREF pin. When entering wait mode or stop mode, set

the Vref connection bit to “0” so that no current flows into the VREF pin.

(b) D-A converter

The processor retains the D-A state even when entering wait mode or stop mode.

Disable the output from the D-A converter then work on the programmable I/O ports.

Set D-A register to “0016”.

In wait mode, stop non-used wait peripheral functions using the peripheral function

clock stop bit.

(d) Switching the oscillation-driving capacity

Set the driving capacity to “LOW” when oscillation is stable.

(e) External clock

When using an external clock input for the CPU clock, set the main clock stop bit to

“1”. Setting the main clock stop bit to “1” causes the XOUT pin not to operate and the

power consumption goes down (when using an external clock input, the clock signal

is input regardless of the content of the main clock stop bit).
