13.0 Power Save Modes
Today, the proliferation of battery-operated based applica-
tions has placed new demands on designers to drive power
consumption down. Battery-operated systems are not the
only type of applications demanding low power. The power
budget constraints are also imposed on those consumer/
industrial applications where well regulated and expensive
power supply costs cannot be tolerated. Such applications
rely on low cost and low power supply voltage derived di-
rectly from the “mains” by using voltage rectifier and passive
components. Low power is demanded even in automotive
applications, due to increased vehicle electronics content.
This is required to ease the burden from the car battery. Low
power 8-bit microcontrollers supply the smarts to control
battery-operated, consumer/industrial, and automotive appli-
cations.
The COP8TAx devices offer system designers a variety of
low-power consumption features that enable them to meet
the demanding requirements of today’s increasing range of
low-power applications. These features include low voltage
operation, low current drain, and power saving features such
as HALT, IDLE, and Multi-Input Wake-Up (MIWU).
The devices offer the user two power save modes of opera-
tion: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode, all microcontroller

Description
28
The timer mode control bits (T1C3, T1C2 and T1C1) are
detailed below:
activities are stopped. In the IDLE mode, the on-board os-
cillator circuitry and timer T0 are active but all other micro-
controller activities are stopped. In either mode, all on-board
RAM, registers, I/O states, and timers (with the exception of
T0) are unaltered.
Clock Monitor if enabled can be active in both modes.
13.1 HALT MODE
The device can be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”
to the HALT flag (G7 data bit). All microcontroller activities,
including the clock and timers, are stopped. The WATCH-
DOG logic on the device is disabled during the HALT mode.
However, the clock monitor circuitry, if enabled, remains
active and will cause the WATCHDOG output pin (WDOUT)
to go low. If the HALT mode is used and the user does not
want to activate the WDOUT pin, the Clock Monitor should
be disabled after the device comes out of reset (resetting the
Clock Monitor control bit with the first write to the WDSVR
register). In the HALT mode, the power requirements of the
device are minimal and the applied voltage (V
decreased to V
machine.
The device supports three different ways of exiting the HALT
mode. The first method of exiting the HALT mode is with the
Multi-Input Wake-Up feature on Port L and Port C. The
