Halt mode power consumption with ADC on

Description

If the A/D converter is being used when Halt mode is entered, the power consumption in

Halt mode may exceed the maximum specified in the datasheet.

Workaround

Switch off the ADC by software (ADON=0) before executing a HALT instruction.

16.6

SCI wrong BREAK duration

Description

A single break character is sent by setting and resetting the SBK bit in the SCICR2 register.

In some cases, the break character may have a longer duration than expected:

- 20 bits instead of 10 bits if M=0

- 22 bits instead of 11 bits if M=1.

In the same way, as long as the SBK bit is set, break characters are sent to the TDO pin.

This may generate one break more than expected.

Occurrence

The occurrence of the problem is random and proportional to the baudrate. With a transmit

frequency of 19200 baud (fCPU=8MHz and SCIBRR=0xC9), the wrong break duration

occurrence is around 1%.

Workaround

If this wrong duration is not compliant with the communication protocol in the application,

software can request that an Idle line be generated before the break character. In this case,

the break duration is always correct assuming the application is not doing anything between

the idle and the break. This can be ensured by temporarily disabling interrupts.

The exact sequence is:

Disable interrupts

Reset and Set TE (IDLE request)

Set and Reset SBK (Break Request)

Re-enable interrupts
