2. The RC32K output on PA20 is not always permanently disabled
1. Reset may set status bits in the AST
2. AST wake signal is released one AST clock cycle after the BUSY bit is cleared
1. Clearing the Watchdog Timer (WDT) counter in second half of timeout period will
2. WDT Control Register does not have synchronization feedback
When re-enabling the OSC32K, read the PCLKSR.OSC32RDY bit. If this bit is:
0: Follow normal procedures.
1: Ignore the PCLKSR.OSC32RDY and ISR.OSC32RDY bit. Use the Frequency Meter
(FREQM) to determine if the OSC32K clock is ready. The OSC32K clock is ready when the
FREQM measures a non-zero frequency.
The RC32K output on PA20 may sometimes re-appear.
Fix/Workaround
Before using RC32K for other purposes, the following procedure has to be followed in order
to properly disable it:
- Run the CPU on RCSYS
- Disable the output to PA20 by writing a zero to PM.PPCR.RC32OUT
- Enable RC32K by writing a one to SCIF.RC32KCR.EN, and wait for this bit to be read as
one
- Disable RC32K by writing a zero to SCIF.RC32KCR.EN, and wait for this bit to be read as
zero.
If a reset occurs and the AST is enabled, the SR.ALARM0, SR.PER0, and SR.OVF bits may
be set.
Fix/Workaround
If the part is reset and the AST is used, clear all bits in the Status Register before entering
sleep mode.
After writing to the Status Clear Register (SCR) the wake signal is released one AST clock
cycle after the BUSY bit in the Status Register (SR.BUSY) is cleared. If entering sleep mode
directly after the BUSY bit is cleared the part will wake up immediately.
Fix/Workaround
Read the Wake Enable Register (WER) and write this value back to the same register. Wait
for BUSY to clear before entering sleep mode.
issue a Watchdog reset
If the WDT counter is cleared in the second half of the timeout period, the WDT will immedi-
ately issue a Watchdog reset.
Fix/Workaround
Use twice as long timeout period as needed and clear the WDT counter within the first half
of the timeout period. If the WDT counter is cleared after the first half of the timeout period,
you will get a Watchdog reset immediately. If the WDT counter is not cleared at all, the time
before the reset will be twice as long as needed.
When writing to the Timeout Prescale Select (PSEL), Time Ban Prescale Select (TBAN),
Enable (EN), or WDT Mode (MODE) fieldss of the WDT Control Register (CTRL), a synchro-
nizer is started to propagate the values to the WDT clcok domain. This synchronization
takes a finite amount of time, but only the status of the synchronization of the EN bit is
reflected back to the user. Writing to the synchronized fields during synchronization can lead
to undefined behavior.
