Computer Operating Properly (COP)
I/O Signals
MC68HC908GR8 — Rev 4.0 Technical Data
MOTOROLA Computer Operating Properly (COP) 135
In monitor mode, the COP is disabled if the RST pin or the IRQ1 is held 
at V
TST
. During the break state, V
TST
 on the RST pin disables the COP.
NOTE: Place COP clearing instructions in the main program and not in an 
interrupt subroutine. Such an interrupt subroutine could keep the COP 
from generating a reset even while the main program is not working 
properly.
9.4 I/O Signals
The following paragraphs describe the signals shown in Figure 9-1.
9.4.1 CGMXCLK
CGMXCLK is the crystal oscillator output signal. CGMXCLK frequency 
is equal to the crystal frequency.
9.4.2 STOP Instruction
The STOP instruction clears the COP prescaler.
9.4.3 COPCTL Write 
Writing any value to the COP control register (COPCTL) (see COP 
Control Register) clears the COP counter and clears bits 12 through 5 of 
the prescaler. Reading the COP control register returns the low byte of 
the reset vector.
9.4.4 Power-On Reset 
The power-on reset (POR) circuit clears the COP prescaler 4096 
CGMXCLK cycles after power-up.
9.4.5 Internal Reset 
An internal reset clears the COP prescaler and the COP counter.
