4.4.1 PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary device
clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source
does not have to “warm-up” or transition from another
oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruc-
tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits. The OSTS bit
remains set (see Figure 4-7).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval T
CSD (parame-
ter 38, Table 27-10) is required between the wake event
and when code execution starts. This is required to
allow the CPU to become ready to execute instructions.
After the wake-up, the OSTS bit remains set. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up
(see Figure 4-8).
4.4.2 SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP
instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set the
IDLEN bit first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’ and
execute SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to
the Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down,
the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
of T
CSD following the wake event, the CPU begins exe-
cuting code being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 4-8).
FIGURE 4-7: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO IDLE MODE
FIGURE 4-8: TRANSITION TIMING FOR WAKE FROM IDLE TO RUN MODE
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when writing
the SCS<1:0> bits, entry to SEC_IDLE
mode will not occur. If the Timer1 oscillator
is enabled but not yet running, peripheral
clocks will be delayed until the oscillator
has started. In such situations, initial oscil-
lator operation is far from stable and
unpredictable operation may result.
