2.3 Operating Modes

The MSP430 family is designed for ultralow-power applications and uses different operating modes shown in Figure 2-9.

The operating modes take into account three different needs:

Ultralow-power
Speed and data throughput
Minimization of individual peripheral current consumption

The MSP430 typical current consumption is shown in Figure 2-8.

Figure 2-8 Typical Current Consumption of 'F21x1 Devices vs Operating Modes

The low-power modes 0 to 4 are configured with the CPUOFF, OSCOFF, SCG0, and SCG1 bits in the status register The advantage of including the CPUOFF, OSCOFF, SCG0, and SCG1 mode-control bits in the status register is that the present operating mode is saved onto the stack during an interrupt service routine. Program flow returns to the previous operating mode if the saved SR value is not altered during the interrupt service routine. Program flow can be returned to a different operating mode by manipulating the saved SR value on the stack inside of the interrupt service routine. The mode-control bits and the stack can be accessed with any instruction.

When setting any of the mode-control bits, the selected operating mode takes effect immediately (see Figure 2-9). Peripherals operating with any disabled clock are disabled until the clock becomes active. The peripherals may also be disabled with their individual control register settings. All I/O port pins and RAM/registers are unchanged. Wake up is possible through all enabled interrupts.
