2-4-4 Transition to STANDBY Modes
The program initiates transitions from a CPU operating mode to the corresponding STANDBY (HALT/
STOP) modes by specifying the new mode in the CPU mode control register (CPUM). Interrupts initiate
the return to the former CPU operating mode.
Before initiating a transition to a STANDBY mode, however, the program must
(1) Set the maskable interrupt enable flag (MIE) in the processor status word (PSW) to '0' to disable
all maskable interrupts temporarily.
(2) Set the interrupt enable flags (xxxIE) in the interrupt control registers (xxxICR) to '1' or '0' to
specify which interrupts do and do not initiate the return from the STANDBY mode. Set MIE '1' to
enable those maskable interrupts.
Figure 2-4-3 Transition to/from STANDBY Mode
Processing inside parentheses () is handled by hardware.
If the interrupt is enabled but interrupt priority level of the interrupt to be used is not equal to
or higher than the mask level in PSW before transition to HALT or STOP mode, it is impos-
sible to return to CPU operation mode by maskable interrupt.
