10.7 Interrupts
When the AUTO bit is set in the PLL bandwidth control register (PBWC),
the PLL can generate a CPU interrupt request every time the LOCK bit
changes state. The PLLIE bit in the PLL control register (PCTL) enables
CPU interrupt requests from the PLL. PLLF, the interrupt flag in the
PCTL, becomes set whether CPU interrupt requests are enabled or not.
When the AUTO bit is clear, CPU interrupt requests from the PLL are
disabled and PLLF reads as logic 0.
Software should read the LOCK bit after a PLL CPU interrupt request to
see if the request was due to an entry into lock or an exit from lock. When
the PLL enters lock, the VCO clock, CGMVCLK, divided by two can be
selected as the CGMOUT source by setting BCS in the PCTL. When the
PLL exits lock, the VCO clock frequency is corrupt, and appropriate
precautions should be taken. If the application is not frequency sensitive,
CPU interrupt requests should be disabled to prevent PLL interrupt
service routines from impeding software performance or from exceeding
stack limitations.
NOTE: Software can select the CGMVCLK divided by two as the CGMOUT
source even if the PLL is not locked (LOCK = 0). Therefore, software
should make sure the PLL is locked before setting the BCS bit.
10.8 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-
consumption standby modes.
10.8.1 Wait Mode
The CGM remains active in wait mode. Before entering wait mode,
software can disengage and turn off the PLL by clearing the BCS and
PLLON bits in the PLL control register (PCTL). Less power-sensitive
applications can disengage the PLL without turning it off. Applications
that require the PLL to wake the MCU from wait mode also can deselect
the PLL output without turning off the PLL.
