15.2 System Control Register: Power-Down Control Bits
Bits 7 to 4 of the system control register (SYSCR) concern the power-down state. Specifically,
they concern the software standby mode.
Table 15.2 lists the attributes of the system control register.

Bit 7Software Standby (SSBY): This bit enables or disables the transition to the software
standby mode.
On recovery from the software standby mode by an external interrupt, SSBY remains set to “1.”
To clear this bit, software must write a “0.”
Bit 7
SSBY Description
0 The SLEEP instruction causes a transition to the sleep mode. (Initial value)
1 The SLEEP instruction causes a transition to the software standby mode.
Bits 6 to 4Standby Timer Select 2 to 0 (STS2 to STS0): These bits select the clock settling
time when the chip recovers from the software standby mode by an external interrupt. During the
selected time, the clock oscillator runs but clock pulses are not supplied to the CPU or the on-chip
supporting modules.
