ACLK divider modifications require delay before entering LPM3
After modifying the DIVAx bits, immediately entering LPM3 can cause the modification to be ignored and the divider settings not to take effect. Reading back the DIVAx bits will indicate the intended setting even when the divider has not been correctly applied.
When the DIVAx bits are modified, a delay of one complete ACLK (VLO or LFXT1CLK) period must elapse before entering LPM3. The delay is only necessary the first time LPM3 is entered after the DIVAx bits are modified. After the one-period delay, LPM3 may be entered and exited normally without additional delays.
