microcontroller, reinitialize the corresponding I/O
as “Input Pull-up with Interrupt” before executing
the HALT instruction. The main reason for this is
that the I/O may be wrongly configured due to ex-
ternal interference or by an unforeseen logical
condition.

tionary measure.

avoid an unexpected HALT instruction due to a
program counter failure, it is advised to clear all
occurrences of the data value 0x8E from memo-
ry. For example, avoid defining a constant in
ROM with the value 0x8E.
in the CC register to allow interrupts, the user
may choose to clear all pending interrupt bits be-
fore executing the HALT instruction. This avoids
entering other peripheral interrupt routines after
executing the external interrupt routine corre-
sponding to the wake-up event (reset or external
interrupt).
