11.8 SNOOZE Mode Function
In the SNOOZE mode, A/D conversion is triggered by inputting a hardware trigger in the STOP mode. Normally, A/D
conversion is stopped while in the STOP mode, but, by using the SNOOZE mode function, A/D conversion can be
performed without operating the CPU. This is effective for reducing the operating current.
If the A/D conversion result range is specified using the ADUL and ADLL registers, A/D conversion results can be
judged at a certain interval of time in SNOOZE mode. Using this function enables power supply voltage monitoring and
input key judgment based on A/D inputs.
In the SNOOZE mode, only the following two conversion modes can be used:
• Hardware trigger wait mode (select mode, one-shot conversion mode)
• Hardware trigger wait mode (scan mode, one-shot conversion mode)
Caution The SNOOZE mode can only be specified when the high-speed on-chip oscillator clock is selected
for f
CLK.

When using the SNOOZE mode function, the initial setting of each register is specified before switching to the STOP
mode. (For details about these settings, see 11.7.3 Setting up hardware trigger wait mode
Note 2
.) Just before move to
STOP mode, bit 2 (AWC) of A/D converter mode register 2 (ADM2) is set to 1. After the initial settings are specified, bit 0
(ADCE) of A/D converter mode register 0 (ADM0) is set to 1.
If a hardware trigger is input after switching to the STOP mode, the high-speed on-chip oscillator clock is supplied to
the A/D converter. After supplying this clock, the system automatically counts up to the A/D power supply stabilization
wait time, and then A/D conversion starts.
The SNOOZE mode operation after A/D conversion ends differs depending on whether an interrupt signal is
generated
Note 1
.
Notes 1. Depending on the setting of the A/D conversion result comparison function (ADRCK bit, ADUL/ADLL
register), there is a possibility of no interrupt signal being generated.
2. Be sure to set the ADM1 register to E2H or E3H.
Remark The hardware trigger is INTRTC or INTIT.
Specify the hardware trigger by using the A/D Converter Mode Register 1 (ADM1).
