MCLK comes up fast on exit from LPM3 and LPM4
The DCO exceeds the programmed frequency of operation on exit from LPM3 and LPM4 for up to 6 us. This behavior is masked from affecting code execution by default: SVSL and SVML run in normal-performance mode and mask CPU execution for 150 us on wakeup from LPM3 and LPM4. However ,when the low-side SVS and the SVM are disabled or are operating in full-performance mode (SVMLE= 0 and SVSLE= 0, or SVMLFP= 1 and SVSLFP= 1) AND MCLK is sourced from the internal DCO running over 4 MHz, 7 MHz,11 MHz,or 14 MHz at core voltage levels 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, the mask lasts only 2 us. MCLK is, therefore, susceptible to run out of spec for 4 us.
Set the MCLK divide bits in the Unified Clock System Control 5 Register (UCSCTL5) to divide MCLK by two prior to entering LPM3 or LPM4 (set DIVMx= 001). This prevents MCLK from running out of spec when the CPU wakes from the low-power mode. Following the wakeup fromthe low-power mode, wait 32, 48, 80, or 100 cycles for core voltage levels 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, before resetting DIVM xto zero and running MCLK at full speed [for example, __delay_cycles(100)]
