Cautions 1.  To stop the low-speed on-chip oscillator clock in the STOP mode, must previously be set an option 
byte to stop the watchdog timer operation in the HALT/STOP mode (bit 0 (WDSTBYON) of 000C0H = 
0). 
  2.  To shorten oscillation stabilization time after the STOP mode is released when the CPU operates 
with the high-speed system clock (X1 oscillation), temporarily switch the CPU clock to the high-
speed on-chip oscillator clock before the execution of the STOP instruction. Before changing the 
CPU clock from the high-speed on-chip oscillator clock to the high-speed system clock (X1 
oscillation) after the STOP mode is released, check the oscillation stabilization time with the 
oscillation stabilization time counter status register (OSTC). 
(2)  STOP mode release 
The STOP mode can be released by the following two sources. 
(a)  Release by unmasked interrupt request 
When an unmasked interrupt request is generated, the STOP mode is released.  After the oscillation stabilization 
time has elapsed, if interrupt acknowledgment is enabled, vectored interrupt servicing is carried out. If interrupt 
acknowledgment is disabled, the next address instruction is executed.

 2. STOP mode release time 
Supply of the clock is stopped:  18 μs to 65 μs

•  When vectored interrupt servicing is carried out:  7 clocks 
•  When vectored interrupt servicing is not carried out:  1 clock 
Remarks 1. The clock supply stop time varies depending on the temperature conditions and STOP mode 
period. 
  2.  The broken lines indicate the case when the interrupt request that has released the standby mode 
is acknowledged.
