Halt mode recommendations

●

Make sure that an external event is available to wake up the microcontroller from Halt

mode.

●

When using an external interrupt to wake up the microcontroller, reinitialize the

corresponding I/O as “Input Pull-up with Interrupt” before executing the HALT

instruction. The main reason for this is that the I/O may be wrongly configured due to

external interference or by an unforeseen logical condition.

●

For the same reason, reinitialize the level sensitiveness of each external interrupt as a

precautionary measure.

●

The opcode for the HALT instruction is 0x8E. To avoid an unexpected HALT instruction

due to a program counter failure, it is advised to clear all occurrences of the data value

0x8E from memory. For example, avoid defining a constant in ROM with the value

0x8E.

●

As the HALT instruction clears the interrupt mask in the CC register to allow interrupts,

the user may choose to clear all pending interrupt bits before executing the HALT

instruction. This avoids entering other peripheral interrupt routines after executing the

external interrupt routine corresponding to the wake-up event (reset or external

interrupt).

7.5

Active halt mode

ACTIVE HALT mode is the lowest power consumption mode of the MCU with a real time

clock available. It is entered by executing the ‘HALT’ instruction when MCC/RTC interrupt

enable flag (OIE bit in MCCSR register) is set and when the AWUEN bit in the AWUCSR

The MCU can exit ACTIVE HALT mode on reception of the RTC interrupt and some specific

interrupts (see Table 16) or a RESET. When exiting ACTIVE HALT mode by means of a

RESET a 4096 or 256 CPU cycle delay occurs (depending on the option byte). After the

start up delay, the CPU resumes operation by servicing the interrupt or by fetching the reset

vector which woke it up (see Figure 28).

When entering ACTIVE HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits in the CC register are are forced to ‘10b’

to enable interrupts. Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the MCU wakes up immediately.

In ACTIVE HALT mode, only the main oscillator and its associated counter (MCC/RTC) are

running to keep a wake-up time base. All other peripherals are not clocked except those

which get their clock supply from another clock generator (such as external or auxiliary

oscillator).

The safeguard against staying locked in ACTIVE HALT mode is provided by the oscillator

interrupt.
