19.3.2 STOP mode 
(1)  STOP mode setting and operating statuses 
The STOP mode is set by executing the STOP instruction, and it can be set only when the CPU clock before the 
setting was the main system clock. 
Cautions 1.  Because the interrupt request signal is used to clear the STOP mode, if there is an interrupt 
source with the interrupt request flag set and the interrupt mask flag reset, the STOP mode is 
immediately cleared if set. Thus, when a STOP instruction is executed in this situation, the 
system returns to its normal operating mode as soon as the wait time set by using the 
oscillation stabilization time select register (OSTS) has elapsed. Note that the operating current 
during this period is the same as in the HALT mode because the clock is not stopped. 
  2.  When using CSI00, UART0, or the A/D converter in the SNOOZE mode, set up serial standby 
control register 0 (SSC0) and A/D converter mode register 2 (ADM2) before switching to the 
STOP mode. For details, see 12.3 Registers Controlling Serial Array Unit and 11.3 Registers 
Used in A/D Converter. 
The operating statuses in the STOP mode are shown below.
