Limp-Home and Fast STOP Recovery modes
improper EXTALi clock cycles can occur on SYSCLK. This may lead to
a code runaway.
11.6.7 STOP exit in Limp Home mode without Delay (Fast Stop Recovery)
(NOLHM=0, CME=X, DLY=0)
Fast STOP recovery refers to any exit from STOP using DLY=0.
If the NOLHM bit is cleared, then the CME (or FCME) bit is masked when
a STOP instruction is executed to prevent a clock monitor failure. When
coming out of STOP mode, the MCU goes into limp-home mode where
CME and FCME signals are asserted.
When using a crystal oscillator, it is possible to exit STOP with the DLY
bit cleared. In this case, STOP is de-asserted without delay and the MCU
will execute software in limp-home mode, giving the crystal oscillator
time to stablise.
CAUTION: This mode is not recommended since the risk of the clock monitor
detecting incorrect clocks is high.
Each time the 13-stage counter reaches a count of 4096 XCLK cycles
(every 8192 cycles), a check of the clock monitor status is performed. If
the clock monitor indicates the presence of an external clock limp-home
mode is de-asserted, the LHOME flag is cleared and the limp-home
interrupt flag is set. Upon leaving limp-home mode, BCSP and MCS are
restored to their values before the loss of clock, and all clocks return to
their previous frequencies. If AUTO and BCSP were set before the clock
loss, the SYSCLK ramps-up and the PLL locks at the previously selected
frequency.
To prevent PLL operation when the external clock frequency comes
back, the software should clear the BCSP bit while running in limp-home
mode.
When using an external clock, i.e. a square wave source, it is possible
to exit STOP with the DLY bit cleared. In this case the LHOME flag is
never set and STOP is de-asserted without delay.
