Computer Operating Properly (COP)
Monitor Mode
MC68HC908GR8 — Rev 4.0 Technical Data
MOTOROLA Computer Operating Properly (COP) 137
9.7 Monitor Mode
When monitor mode is entered with V
TST 
on the IRQ pin, the COP is 
disabled as long as V
TST
 remains on the IRQ pin or the RST pin. When 
monitor mode is entered by having blank reset vectors and not having 
V
TST
 on the IRQ pin, the COP is automatically disabled until a POR 
occurs.
9.8 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-
consumption standby modes.
9.8.1 Wait Mode
The COP remains active during wait mode. To prevent a COP reset 
during wait mode, periodically clear the COP counter in a CPU interrupt 
routine. 
9.8.2 Stop Mode 
Stop mode turns off the CGMXCLK input to the COP and clears the COP 
prescaler. Service the COP immediately before entering or after exiting 
stop mode to ensure a full COP timeout period after entering or exiting 
stop mode.
To prevent inadvertently turning off the COP with a STOP instruction, a 
configuration option is available that disables the STOP instruction. 
When the STOP bit in the configuration register has the STOP 
instruction disabled, execution of a STOP instruction results in an illegal 
opcode reset.
9.9 COP Module During Break Mode
The COP is disabled during a break interrupt when V
TST
 is present on 
the RST pin.
