2.9.1 Divide-by-256 Mode (PMM)
In this power-management mode, all operations continue as normal, but at a reduced clock rate (the high-frequency
clock divided by 256). This power-management mode affects module clock rates as follows:
• Program execution occurs at the high-frequency clock rate divided by 256.
• The RTC module continues to operate using the 32kHz clock.
• The LCD module continues to operate using its originally selected clock, which is either the high-frequency clock
divided by 512 or the 32kHz clock, as selected by the LCCS bit (LCRA.6).
• All other functional modules (timers, USARTs, SPI) operate at the high-frequency clock rate divided by 256.
This power-management mode is entered by setting the PMME bit (CKCN.2) to 1. When PMM mode is exited (either
by clearing the PMME bit or as a result of a switchback trigger), system operation reverts to divide-by-1 mode.
2.9.2 Switchback Mode
As described in the MAXQ Family User’s Guide, switchback mode is used to provide an automatic exit from power-
management mode when a higher clock rate is required to respond to I/O, such as USART activity, SPI activity, or an
external interrupt.
Switchback mode is enabled when the SWB (CKCN.3) bit is set to 1 and the PMME (CKCN.2) bit is set to 1 (the system
is in the PMM mode). If switchback is enabled, the PMME bit is cleared (causing the system to exit power-management
mode) when any of the following conditions occur:
• An external interrupt condition occurs on an external interrupt pin and the corresponding external interrupt is enabled.
• An active-low transition occurs on the RXD0 or RXD1 pin, and the corresponding USART is enabled to receive data.
• The SBUF0 or SBUF1 register is written to transmit a byte over the corresponding USART.
• The SPIB register is written to transmit a byte with the SPI interface enabled in master mode.
• The SSEL signal is asserted low with the SPI interface enabled in slave mode.
• A START condition occurs on the I
2 C bus and the I 2 C start interrupt is triggered.
• The supply voltage drops below the supply voltage monitor (SVM) threshold, and the SVM interrupt is triggered.
• A time-of-day alarm is generated by the RTC module.
• A subsecond alarm is generated by the RTC module.

REGISTER ADDRESS BIT FUNCTION
PWCN M0[0Fh] [9:8]—X32KMD[1:0]
Selects operating mode of the 32kHz oscillator as follows.
00: Always operate in noise immune mode.
01: Always operate in quiet mode.
10: Operate in noise immune mode normally and in quiet mode during stop.
Wait for 32kHz oscillator warmup upon stop mode exit. (Note: This setting
should not be used on devices of rev B3 or earlier; refer to the device
errata for more details.)
11: Operate in noise immune mode normally and in quiet mode during stop.
Skip 32kHz oscillator warmup upon stop mode exit.
PWCN M0[0Fh] 15—FREQMD
This bit is used to adjust the operating mode of the MAXQ2010 to provide
optimal current consumption based on operating frequency. Typically,
when running at a frequency of 3MHz or higher, this bit should be set to
0 to optimize current consumption. When running at a frequency under
3MHz, this bit should typically be set to 1. Refer to the “V
DD
Supply Current
vs. Clock Frequency” graph in the IC data sheet for more details.
