Mode Definition and Transition
There are five Clocking Modes, i.e. FastAll, SlowAll, StopAll, FastPeri, and SlowPeri
modes. These are controlled by PSCR[2:0] (Power Saving Register bit 2 to 0).
According to these bits, it is decided for the Fast Oscillator (up to 24MHz at 5V or
12Mhz at 3V), Slow Oscillator (32.768KHz), and CPU operation or Instruction
execution to run or stop.
There are two Pin State Modes, i.e. NorPin (Normal Pin operation mode) and HIZ
(High-Z mode). The bit-4 of PSCR(HIZ) selects a mode between them.
In any mode of Clocking Modes, any Pin State Mode can be selected.
It is conceptually possible to make a new clocking power-saving mode because three
bits of PSCR are assigned to select it. But, the other cases except listed five modes are
never proven. If the user needs a new clocking Power-Saving mode other than listed
five, to test and prove it is user’s responsibility. We also recommend that only the listed
mode transition is used. For other transitions than recommended transitions, user must
carefully test it. When Clocking Power-Saving Mode is changed by Software, the next
two instructions should be NOP (No Operation).
